For Now

Far gone are summer girls

In bed with thankless boys

And all the lives that need to keep

Awake another century

Far gone are perfect days

For now I'll have to wait

In bed with all the ones I hate

To give myself, myself away

I belong to you now, and that's not gonna change

I've been on to you, and nothing's been the same

Is there anything as quiet as a night alone with you

Had it ever been as clear on the day that you went away

Don't speak from other lives

Don't need your hopeful light

Your hand upon my face is fine

Remind me of my place this time

Someone must've told the man in the sky

To paint a portrait of you and I

Someone must've gone and told him why

Someone must've told the man in the sky

(Is there anything as quiet as a night)

To paint a portrait of you and I

(Alone with you)

Someone must've gone and told him why

(Had it even been as clear on the day that you went away)

Is there anything as quiet as a night alone with you

(I belong to you now and that's not gonna change)

Had it ever been as clear on the day that you went away

(I've been on to you and nothings been the same)

Is there anything as quiet as a night alone with you

Had it ever been as clear on the day that you went away
