I Can't Think About It Now

If you’re just asking for a reason Reasons are everywhere you look The only difference between them Are which you gave and which you took Every smile with some dark anticipation And dreams of back before it settled in their brows I don’t remember when you first began to notice But I can’t think about it now I can’t think about it now The latest singer’s latest single’s got me listening For the pact between the writer and the star This is how mythology is written This is where the lawless jungles are She’s just a singer living mostly after midnight Pumping blood and money back into a town And it all eventually betrays her But I can’t think about it now I can’t think about it now So I guess it makes me wonder what I’m chasing Like a dancer when she’s breaking in her shoes Like sending men up to the moon just for the landing Displaying power we don’t know how else to use Sometimes it’s more than I can handle Sometimes it’s all the joy I’ve found And it’ll all end up on one side or the other But I can’t think about it now The decades that are hidden in the sidewalks The narrative that naturally occurs The everlasting wisdom of a sports bar The poison that’s mistaken for a cure All these backward glances putting me in danger Of forgetting how to turn myself around It’s just that time just keeps on slipping through my fingers But I can’t think about it now I can’t think about it now I can’t think about it now I can’t think about it now
