lyrics

Glad to keep your company, we watch the TV screen
Cuddled 'neath a blanket, oh, it feels just like a dream
My arm is wrapped around you rest your hand upon my knee
We lean in for a kiss and fumble on in ecstasy

We've only known each other for a little while
Already there's anxiety I hide behind my smile

I worry ‘bout tomorrow, ruminate on yesterday
Have trouble being present to enjoy it
I pull you closer 'cause I just can't find the words to say
I'm trying to be happy in the moment

Tucked under the covers we retire for the night
Being with you here and now, it certainly feels right
But lying in the darkened room my weary mind incites
A drowsy din of disquiet that defeats my delight

To think about the future leaves me mystified -
Will we break up tomorrow, will you never leave my side?

I worry ‘bout tomorrow, ruminate on yesterday
Have trouble being present to enjoy it
Forever is a long time but it's not so far away
I'm trying to be happy in the moment

I wake up with you by my side, brand new and yet the same
To live like this together really doesn’t seem so strange
There’s fear and there’s uncertainty, my silly mind’s to blame
But the joy within my heart can barely be contained

You ask about my demons as you take my hand
I’ll try to share them with you and I hope you understand

I worry ‘bout tomorrow, ruminate on yesterday
Have trouble being present to enjoy it
I pull you closer 'cause I still can't find the words to say
I'm trying to be happy in the moment

But when I look into your eyes my fears just fly away
So I can be happy in the moment
