For Now

(album: Mermaids - 2019)

Girl if I can't be the one to be the one
There's a part of me that's always on the run
Try my best but still end up undone
Take a part of me
Would you take a part of me?

Hit you when I'm feeling blue
Do you get the feeling too?
Sometimes I call over women I don't like
Just so I can pretend it was you
I take that as my loss
Forgive me I've been out of touch
Just tell me it's okay and I ain't got to pretend no more
You know that I'd be better off

Now I'm done pretending
With the ones in my mention
I'll take the first step
We'll see what's round the bend then
You see I'm never forceful
I keep it cordial
But see I gotta speak up
I think I might've lost you

Girl if I can't be the one to be the one
There's a part of me that's always on the run
Try my best but still end up undone
Take a part of me
Would you take a part of me?

For now, for now
Not forever, not forever
For now, for now
Not forever, just for now

Feel like something's off, I'll be outta there
There ain't no love loss where I'm from, let me make that clear
I guess it's my loss, I'll be out your hair
Done renegotiating my place in my bed

Hit you when I'm feeling blue
Do you get the feeling too?
Sometimes I call over women I don't like
Just so I can pretend it was you
I take that as my loss
Forgive me I've been out of touch
Just tell me it's okay and I ain't got to pretend no more
You know that I'd be better off

Girl if I can't be the one to be the one
There's a part of me that's always on the run
Try my best but still end up undone
Take a part of me
Would you take a part of me?

For now, for now
Not forever, not forever
For now, for now
Not forever, just for now

Call me when you've got a spare minute, know the message gets lost in the text
On the phone 'til the A.M., know I don't respond well to the pressure
Wonder if I'll find someone better, anxiety setting it
