Now Lyrics

everything is shattered
i'm dying from the inside
nothing really matters
i've got nothing to hide

just ask and it will be done
in some way or another
the day will bring the sun
as long as we have each other

at least for now

alone i walked through the door
no one was there to welcome me
i never wanted anymore
than to look myself in the mirror
than for you to be with me

so life may bring
some breaks and tears
and everything
might be better over there

at least for now

i question the life
i lead everyday
wondering if there
is something in the way
lonely is the man
who never opens his heart
i don't know if i could
ever stand us being
apart...

at least for now

and through it all
we never fall
oh how life is such a privilege
we just stare at death
over the edge

at least for now

i'll wonder how...
(i could have made things better
i would have made things better)

at least for now
at least for now

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

ok so i talked tot he guy who put this up, and in his own words:

"my cousin in arizona knows/knew before joining the military....eric linds and i gave him the lyrics to give to him to show jim and they put it with music and gave us a lil demo of it back in 1999"

so sorry to say, but this song will probably never be put on a CD anywhere, because its just a demo. so sad.
