Live In the Moment


So I was listening to some country song in gym class (when I was supposed to be participating in ultimate frisby), and it sparked a lyric in me: Live in the moment. So I wrote about it. Hopefully I'll actually live by my own words!

Sometimes I wake up and wanna lay back down
Sometimes I feel my world turn upside down, and I
Can’t tell my future from my thoughts from the past
And I just want to fall to the ground and lie there for as long as Heaven lasts
So I come to this place, where I feel safe, and I can dream
And I see that everything is exactly what I want it to be

So live in the moment and love who you are
You will never be in this place again, and you’ve come so far
You’ll never be more beautiful than you are now,
You’re so broken, but you’re perfect, so live in the moment

You go through the day, don’t need a brain to paste a smile
Don’t think twice, it’s your life, don’t need them for a while, and you
See that this ignorance makes you feel dead inside
But can’t you feel this burning, it’s burning you alive

So she goes home and lies there in the grass
And she thinks about the scars and everything in her past
She closed her eyes and pictured life as many times as
She could feel the fire, sick of the lies, so she sits there, she finds she has to

Live in the moment and love who you are
You’ll never be in this place again, and you’ve come so far
You’ll never be more beautiful than you are now
You’re so broken, but you’re perfect, so live in the moment

Just pause the clock, make it stop, just take some time to brush it off
Beauty is as beauty does and you are everything you’ll want,
Stepping stones on broken homes, shards of glass are bleeding me
Dry, so try to figure out the lies and find the truth to set me free

So live in the moment and love who you are
You’ll never be in the place again, and you’ve come so far
You’ll never be more beautiful than you are now
You’re so broken, but you’re perfect, so live in the moment.
