Stuff N' Nonsense
Split Enz and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra Lyrics

Disobey my own decisions.
I struggle to make decisions and often change my mind.

I deserve all your suspicion.
I understand why you might not trust me.

First it's yes and then it's no,
My indecisiveness leads to inconsistency.

I dilly dally down to a duo.
I tend to delay making decisions until there are only two options.

But I got no secrets that I babble in my sleep.
I am an open book and have no hidden agendas.

I won't make promises to you that I can't keep.
I am careful not to over-promise and under-deliver.

And you know that I love you,
My feelings for you are clear and genuine.

Here and now, not forever.
I am committed to the present moment and not making long-term promises.

I can give you the present,
I can offer you my time, attention, and affection in the moment.

I don't know 'bout the future,
I cannot predict what will happen in the future.

That's all stuff and nonsense.
Focusing too much on the future can distract us from the joy of the present.

I once lived for the future,
I used to spend a lot of time thinking and planning for the future.

Every day was one day closer.
I viewed each day as a step closer to achieving my future goals.

Greener on the other side,
I used to believe that things would be better in the future.

This I believed before I met you.
My perspective on the future changed when I fell in love with you.

I soon learned your love burned brighter than the stars in my eyes.
My love for you grew beyond what I ever imagined possible.

Now I know how and when
I have a deeper understanding of love and how it works in our relationship.

I know where and why.
I am clear on my priorities and reasons for loving you.
