I Want Then To Be Today

I can hardly wait for you to come around

Greeting each day, secretly counting them down

This town and its sister keep me running in and out

And I want then to be today

Foxes have holes and birds will find a nest

Better is better but sometimes it’s not best

I have a you sized hole deep here in my chest

And I want then to be today

Oh, if I knew just when it was

I would fly or run right to where you are

I’d be by your side so quickly but

I can’t miss our back-story, love.

Others before who captivated me

Will fade like a dream from my memory

My little heart, I will hand over lock and key 

And I want then to be today.

Oh, if I knew just when it was

I would fly or run right to where you are

I’d be by your side so quickly love

Oh, if I knew just day date or year

I wouldn’t still wonder or waste another tear

I’d be by your side so quickly but

I can’t miss our back-story, love.

I know the wait will be worth the while

But my patience was never tested like tonight

They say hindsight is clearer over space and time

And I want then to be today
