Next Time - Kina Grannis

Well I believe in a land

A land where fairy tales await

Kisses hang on hooks like bait

And swing slowly back and forth

Before the faces of two lonely souls

This land in which I’m speaking of

Houses such hatred, grief and love

So many wild and crazy things

Emotions you would never dream of

Yet they’re tearing through

Your burdened heart, your soaking eyes

And I think it’s time

I realized the strange reality

That this life, this land

Is here and now and this person is me

But I’m not going to waste this moment next time

Now when the night has found its end

You’re sitting with that special friend

A pause, it drifts between then and your departure

Don’t walk away, that’s unwanted space

Lingering between you and the other

Move in, move in, move in for the kill

And I think it’s time

I realized the strange reality

That this life, this land

Is here and now and this person is me

You will not forgive yourself

You will not move gracefully forward, no

You will dwell, oh will you ever

It’s hell, let me tell you, oh

Sit all night, waste this moment

No, I will never waste this moment

Said I will not waste this moment next time, no
