I bet you're wondering if you woke today 
just to learn why the caged bird sings 
I bet you're wondering if the goddesses are all crazy 
or just keeping it interesting 
situated slightly outside society 
at odds with its odd offerings 
I bet you're teetering on the edge of sobriety 
just to alleviate a few things 
 
like the fear that you're standing here 
because you want to be liked 
like you know you need your instrument 
but does your instrument need to be mic'd 
and you keep imagining that pretty soon 
you will just disappear 
and thinking that one thing is what saves you from 
your fear of being here 
here for now, you're here for now, you're here for now 
 
I bet you're looking for the little red 'X' 
next to the red arrow and the sign says 'you are here' 
I bet you're hoping that your heart will send up the white flag this time 
or some sign that the coast is clear 
and the moment when your heart jumps in all that's happening 
it's like the first time you felt that shock 
yes, your heart jumps in all that's happening 
and I was right behind the door when you knocked 
 
thinking maybe I'm just standing here 
because I want to be liked 
yes, I know I need my instrument 
but does my instrument need to me mic'd 
I keep imagining that pretty soon 
I will just disappear 
and thinking that one thing is what saves me from 
my fear of being here 
here for now, I'm here for now, I'm here for now 
here for now, I'm here for now, I'm here for now
