(Verse) I might be a simple song That today you find very trite You audibly said, “uh this is awful” When I came on the other night With a simple happy chorus I sang on (“I am in love with you.”) Or maybe I was screaming like (“What the hell can I do!”) (Pre chorus) But for now, your critical pitchforks Can show me all of your hate Because I know you and I have A very important future date (Chorus) When one day, you will shout me so freely And you will sing along so deeply As you will transcend in a cliché rhyme But, for now, I’m a song for another time Because when you feel something New, different, or strong That’s when I come into my prime I am a song for another time (Verse) And there are songs full of wisdom That play like poems and lectures That are full of such intelligence And precise wordy conjectures And then there are songs that are meant To tell you absolutely nothing at all And, instead, just be always there When you find love or fall (Pre chorus) But for now, your critical pitchforks Can show me all your hate Because I know you and I have A very important future date (Chorus) When one day, you will shout me so freely And you will sing along so deeply As you will transcend in a cliché rhyme But, for now, I’m a song for another time Because when you feel something New, different, or strong That’s when I come into my prime I am a song for another time (Bridge) One day in my vague words You’ll feel your pain and glories As you’ll fill in the details With your own specific stories Like you’re personalizing A basic human plot You may hate me today But one day you will need me a lot (Chorus) When one day, you will shout me so freely And you will sing along so deeply As you will transcend in a cliché rhyme But, for now, I’m a song for another time Because when you feel something New, different, or strong That’s when I come into my prime I am a song for another time
