Right Now The Best

(album: American Heartbreak - 2022)

Okay, one take, one take

This whole world is always waiting on tomorrow
Itching, fiending for whatever happens next
But what if I told you they're all lying
And I love you for who you are right now, the best
Everyone thinks they're going the wrong way
But they're looking at their maps all wrong
'Cause everywhere's somewhere to someone
And in a rush, you cannot dance to smooth slow songs

So, I'm gonna slow on down, someway, somehow
Today ain't different from the rest
And the you that I pine for, oh the you that I need
Oh, the you of right now is the best

This hating heart healed by the hopeful
And I think I got a song that you'll like
It's awfully long and such a throatful
But it's perfect for a night like tonight
About you on the coasting water
Those white waves crash 'cross your skin
One of those days you miss already
And it ain't even had the damn chance to end
And I think grandfather's gone crazy
He keeps rambling on about way back when
Bragging 'bout grandma and war times
All the friends that he's lost once again

So I'm gonna slow on down, someway, somehow
Today ain't different from the rest
Oh the you that I pine for, oh the you that I need
Oh the you of right now is the best
