In Front of Me Now [Song by Nada Surf]

 

In Front of Me Now


 I used to be dreaming when I was driving

I used to be leaving when I was arriving

I used to be calling when I was walking

I used to be thinking when I was talking


I used to be counting when I was sharing

I used to be blanking when I was staring

I used to be rolling when I was parking

I used to be raining when I was sparking


Today, I do what's in front of me now

Today, I do what's in front of me now


I used to be stopping while I trying

I used to be landing before I was flying

I used to be haunting not just remembering

In the middle of summer, I was decembring


Always re-writing what I was reading

But also doubting what I was conceiving

I used to be dropping when I was collecting

I could have been building but I was dissecting


Today, I do what's in front of me now

Today, I do what's in front of me, what's in front of me

I do what's in front of me now


I used to be missing when I was kissing

Why wasn't I present? I could have been living

I used to be dodging when I was catching

I used to be dying, I could have been hatching


I used to be drowning when I was drinking

I was only masking, I could have been feeling

You used to surround me whenever you found me

I could have learned more from the friends I had 'round me


I used to be falling when I was leaning

Catastrophe courting, I could've been dreaming

I was careening, looking for meaning

Wish I was relaxing, I could have been breathing


Today, I do what's in front of me now

Today, I do what's in front of me, what's in front of me

Oh, there's too many lanes

There's too much to see in the frame at once

There's too much to contain

I do what's in front of me, what's in front of me

Oh, there's too much terrain

I can never explain it all

It's too much for my brain

I do what's in front of me, what's in front of me

I do what's in front of me, what's in front of me

I do what's in front of me now
