Here For Now Lyrics - Evolve - Ani Difranco

I bet you're wondering 

If you woke up today 

Just to learn why the caged bird sings 

I bet you're wondering if the goddesses are all crazy 

Or just keeping it interesting 

Situated slightly outside society 

At odds with its odd offerings 

I bet you're teetering on the edge of sobriety 

Just to alleviate a few things 

Like the fear that you're standing here 

'cause you want to be liked 

You know you need your instrument 

But does your instrument need to be miked? 

You keep imagining 

That pretty soon you will just disappear 

And thinking that one thing 

Is what saves you from your fear of being here 

Here for now 

Here for now 

Here for now 

I bet you're looking for the little red x 

Next to the red arrow 

And the words 'you are here' 

I bet you're hoping that your heart will send up 

The white flag this time 

Or some sign that the coast is clear 

Yeah the moment when your heart jumps 

It's all that's happening 

And once again 

It's like the first time you've felt that shock 

Yeah the moment when your heart jumps 

It's all that's happening 

And I was right behind the door when you knocked 

Thinking maybe I'm just standing here 

'cause I want to be liked 

I know I need my instrument 

But does my instrument need to be miked? 

I keep imagining 

That pretty soon I will just disappear 

And thinking that one thing 

Is what saves me from my fear of being here 

Here for now 

Here for now 

Here for now
