It Should Have Been Now (Remastered)

Verse 1 The clock ticked on, I thought I had all the days, Tomorrow’s promise kept pulling me away. Watched the years gather dust on the shelf, Put off the things that would've mattered to myself. I meant to call her, hold her hand and stay, But shadows lengthened, and she slipped away. There was always tomorrow to say what’s true, Yet somehow, tomorrow never came through. Chorus It should have been now, not some distant shore, It should have been here, not waiting for more. My hands full of sand, slipping down somehow, I’d give all my tomorrows to have just one now. Verse 2 The children grew up, they flew from the nest, But I was too busy, I missed all the rest. Thought there’d be weekends, thought there’d be time, Now I see faces that I don’t recognize. Years filled with silence, the memories are thin, Trading the “later” for moments that should have been. And now the shadows are pulling at me, I’m facing my own fading legacy. Chorus It should have been now, not some distant shore, It should have been here, not waiting for more. My hands full of sand, slipping down somehow, I’d give all my tomorrows to have just one now. Bridge There’s a crack in the glass where the light breaks in, I see the faces of who I’ve been. I’d trade all the sunsets I’ve yet to see, For one moment more with the ones I let be. Chorus It should have been now, not some distant shore, It should have been here, not waiting for more. My hands full of sand, slipping down somehow, I’d give all my tomorrows to have just one now.
