PRESENT TENSE ft. Escape the Tiger & Silas1Wolf Lyrics

When I got it, will it really be all I ever wanted

When I have it, will it solve all the problems that I'm having

When I got it, will it really be all I ever wanted

When I have it, will it solve all the problems that I'm having

You are heaven sent, sitting in the present tense worried

Yeah, unsure the scenery slip into a blur

Life moves so fast I want to stop her, but she grows so fast

Now I'm feeling awkward, she don't know that

The baby I held, now this baby's looking at me like she know how it feels

Talk about your day, talk about the friends you made

Laugh about that pic you saved, don't forget about the times we braved

Wasn't always easy but we made it out the mud okay

I want to get real with you, I just want to build with you

Something I'm prepared to do, try to heal the wounds

That you've carried, I've been scared to lose what we never shared really

Why you so far away, I lie awake

Why you so far away, it's not the same

When I got it all yeah, will it be enough for me

When I have it all yeah, will it be enough for me

I don't want to stall here, so I need to make this seen

When I got you all here, will it be enough for me

If I had it all would it feel enough

When you felt small, I would help you feel tough

All the times that you fell down, I ain't going nowhere I'm here now

Daddy's still here for you, I'm in it for the long run

And I cherish you, providing wasn't what I was prepared to do

I was lost and I chose a bottle over you

And it cost me time away from you

That's time I can't give back to you

Even though I tried, sleepless nights

That's time I can't undo, I'ma make it up to you

I promise you, never did I ever doubt that

I'm a man of my word and you can trust that

Why you so far away, I lie awake

Why you so far away, it's not the same

When I got it all yeah, will it be enough for me

When I have it all yeah, will it be enough for me

I don't want to stall here, so I need to make this seen

When I got you all here, will it be enough for me

It's just a distant memory but it's still filling me

With such anxiety I don't know how I'm fighting these

Urges to go and hide and flee but I know the confiding peace

Is to go and confront what's dying deep

Walking on this road that's falsely clean

Street sweeping to the side causing flying debris, nobody safe in the way

Reasons for the day I face, what's in my deeper place

Why it's easy to separate but I know what it takes

Throwing pride to the side for the moment our eyes lock

Trying not to look away but if you do the healing stop

But in reality when we speak I'm feeling all the knots

From my chest to my throat I don't know if I really got

The ability to face the shadows of my former self

Hanging like them trophies collecting dust up on that shelf

I know you don't need it but for myself, I figured it would help

(When I got it)

Far away, I wait, I wait for you

(When I have it)

I lie awake in wait, I wait for you

(When I got it)

I know it hurts, forgive us for the words that we never said

(When I have it)

That we should've said
