The title track off of Street Choir's debut EP "Now".
lyrics
Chorus:
My time is too limited, I just can't waste it now
As I'm getting older I'm feeling more jaded now
I let go of faith and I don't want to save it now
Our leaders are liars so I don't believe 'em now
These women aren't faithful I guess I don't need 'em now
She said take it or leave it, so I guess I'll leave it now
Even around family I feel like a stranger now
So I spend too many nights just getting faded now
Verse 1:
I used to think my hero's were infallible and wise
But now I never listen I've been told too many lies
I used to think that life would work itself out given time
But now I know that everyone is barely getting by
And at the rate that I'm going
When I'm aged and alone
I'll remain on my own
And won't pray or atone
I won't trust anyone
I won't love anyone
I'll stay home in disgust
Cause the world's not enough
Chorus:
My time is too limited, I just can't waste it now
As I'm getting older I'm feeling more jaded now
I let go of faith and I don't want to save it now
Our leaders are liars so I don't believe 'em now
These women aren't faithful I guess I don't need 'em now
She said take it or leave it, so I guess I'll leave it now
Even around family I feel like a stranger now
So I spend too many nights just getting faded now
Verse 2:
I think that I need a round
Cause she's asking daily how soon we'll get married
I don't think I want her around
My family keeps telling me, God's probably judging
I don't think they want me around
My friends all accuse me of being too busy
I don't think that they'll stick around
I don't think that I'll stick around
I don't think that I'll stick around
I don't think that I'll stick around
I don't think that I'll stick around
I don't think that I'll stick around
Chorus:
My time is too limited, I just can't waste it now
As I'm getting older I'm feeling more jaded now
I let go of faith and I don't want to save it now
Our leaders are liars so I don't believe 'em now
These women aren't faithful I guess I don't need 'em now
She said take it or leave it, so I guess I'll leave it now
Even around family I feel like a stranger now
So I spend too many nights just getting faded now
