Love in the Present Tense Lyrics

Do you remember the summers,
When we were still under the impression that time would stand still just for us?
Then like a dream it ended so suddenly, We couldn't even speak.
We couldn't even speak.

But I've made peace with the past,
'Cause I've got something better than that.
Yeah, I've got something better than, better than that.

I've got you.
And I've got love in the present tense.
I've got you.
And I've got more of us to look forward to.

Do you remember the things we said, were matters of life and death?
Well they all seem less important to me now.
And like a dream it ended so suddenly, we couldn't even speak.
We couldn't even speak.

But I've made peace with the past,
'Cause I've got something better than that.
Yeah, I've got something better than, better than that.

I've got you.
And I've got love in the present tense.
I've got you.
And I've got more of us to look forward to.
I've got you. (I've got you)
And I've got love in the present tense.
I've got you.
And I've got more of us to look forward to.

Do you remember the summers, 
When we were still under the impression that time would stand still just for us?
Then like a dream it ended so suddenly, We couldn't even speak. 
We couldn't even speak.

But I've made peace with the past, 
'Cause I've got something better than that. 
Yeah, I've got something better than, better than that.

I've got you.
And I've got love in the present tense.
I've got you.
And I've got more of us to look forward to.

Do you remember the things we said, were matters of life and death?
Well they all seem less important to me now.
And like a dream it ended so suddenly, we couldn't even speak.
We couldn't even speak.

But I've made peace with the past, 
'Cause I've got something better than that.
Yeah, I've got something better than, better than that.

I've got you.
And I've got love in the present tense.
I've got you.

I've got you.
And I've got more of us to look forward to.

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.
