"Now And Then" lyrics

"Now And Then"

Now and then I'm in total control
Every now and then I feel like five years old
Every now and then I wanna come unstuck
Every now and then I wanna smash it all up

Every now and then, yeah, I feel like a ghost
Every now and then I wanna hold you close
Every now and then I wanna stay up all night
Every now and then I wanna break down and cry

Today I accidentally caught the Hounslow loop
Time stood still, and I couldn't move
I had a little crisis existential
Have I still got enough lead in my pencil?

Like I always do, I thought of you and me
Did we ever get to where we wanna be?
Have I left you standing in the bargain basement?
Did I let you down for being too complacent?

Now and then I'm in total control
Every now and then I feel like five years old
Every now and then I wanna come unstuck
Every now and then I wanna smash it all up

Every now and then, yeah, I feel like a ghost
Every now and then I wanna hold you close
Every now and then I wanna wear the crown
Every now and then I wanna burn it all down

But right now, right now, right now

Everything comes to those who wait
But you're gonna lose out if you hesitate
In the scheme of things we are inconsequential
But you to me are the bare essentials

So come on, come on, before it gets too late
Come on, come on, there's no time to waste
I'll take you to the height of sophistication
I'll take you on a flight to the United Nations

Now and then I'm in total control
Every now and then I feel like five years old
Every now and then I wanna come unstuck
Every now and then I wanna smash it all up

Every now and then, yeah, I feel like a ghost
Every now and then I wanna hold you close
Every now and then I wanna wear the crown
Every now and then I wanna burn it all down

Every now and then I wanna sleep all day
Every now and then I wanna make you pay
Every now and then I wanna play the fool
Every now and then I wanna fucking rule

But right now, right now, right now
But right now, right now, right now
But right now, right now, right now

I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
