[From the Music Baul] Just For Now

Imogen Heap/FrouFrou has climbed my chart of favorites (now alongside Coldplay, The Killers, and Sting). She's great. Such a unique sound and her songs rock. I think I have two other entries with songs from this 6-foot tall singer.

This song kinda reminds me of excrutiating family holidays... which are alien to me because most of our family holidays are fun. But the feeling in the song... Could be applied to other similar situations where you guys want to "get (me)out of here".

Just For Now
By Imogen Heap


(Just for now) (x6)

It's that time of year,
Leave all our hopelessnesses aside (if just for a little while)
Tears stop right here,
I know we've all had a bumpy ride (I’m secretly on your side)

How did you know?
It's what I always wanted,
You can never have had too many of these
Will ya quit kicking me under the table?
I'm trying, will somebody make her shut up about it?
Can we settle down please?

It's that time of year,
Leave all our hopelessnesses aside (if just for a little while)
Tears stop right here,
I know we've all had a bumpy ride (I’m secretly on your side)

Bite tongue
Deep breaths
Count to ten
Nod your head
(sniff sniff)

I think something is burning,
Now you've ruined the whole thing
Muffle the smoke alarm
Whoever put on this music
Had better quick, sharp, remove it
Pour me another
Oh, don't wag your finger at me

It's that time of year,
Leave all our hopelessnesses aside (if just for a little while)
Tears stop right here,
I know we've all had a bumpy ride (I’m secretly on your side)

Get me outta here (x13)
Just for now
Just for now
