That Was Then, This Is Now

(album: Fear Of The Dawn - 2022)

Do you know where to go
When you're walking around at midnight?
You can look high and low
But you won't
Find yourself without a flashlight

There are plenty of ways to explain your situation
When you're searching for love, you have no time to be patient

I looked all over town, all around
I didn't see you anywhere
You were safe and sound, underground
Where I couldn't see you at all
I found myself, right at home on the shelf
While you were busy looking for yourself there

That was then and this is now
And now the time has come

There was a time when a boy would cry alone in his room
In the corner
And it's a crime that his toys would turn to stone
Like their original owners
But that was then and this is now
We all just figure it out somehow
Yes, we do
Ain't it true?

Find yourself, over the hill
Break your crown, Jack and Jill
In the open, or underground
Are you making plans or just making sounds?
Looking up and over the moon
You can find yourself
But don't find it too soon
Don't find it too soon
Take your time
But don't find it too soon

I looked all over town, all around
I couldn't find you anywhere
You were safe underground, not a sound
Disappearing into thin air
