Not here, not now
She tried to tell me but I couldn’t hear her
It was right beside me but it couldn’t get nearer
“I couldn’t be here” time
I wouldn’t draw this line midway,
because I wanted her to stay
Passing through all my different places
She only saw me wearing modern faces
In my forgotten war
Noone was looking for — her game to play
I wanted here to stay Ð but she said
Not here, not now (all she said to me)
Not here, not now
That time I or was it off in the distance
I remember my home when it was
Going nowhere, and time wouldn’t pass over me
Your far away is my so damn near
Knowing one day, the rain will wash down over me
Wash down over me
She tried to tell me that it wasn’t no secret
So many smiles that I just can’t believe in
I want to understand
Her lack of master plans — every day
I wanted here to stay — but she said
Not here, not now
Not here, not now
Not here, not now
Not here, not now
