B-Theory (4)

(Verse 1) The day we met you rattled on about the flow of time. I thought I lost the gist of it between the slugs of wine... But the words are in my head right now so I guess I listened fine. When I close my eyes, I hear you, still circling through my mind: Saying how when it came to time, you favoured the B-theory... (Pre-Chorus) I Googled it that night and oh, I want to think you're right, 'cause if "now" is just a view it means that me and you are still there in that restaurant and you're not really gone. (Chorus 1) The past, the now, the days ahead, they all exist, just like you said. We can't quite touch, but you’re not far. You’re in this room, you're in my car. All our days, all at once, not in memory - but right here in reality. (Verse 2) Each day we laughed is with me now. Each silly fight still lives somewhere. All those moments, racing by still racing past, but hanging there. One day you wrote about free will and fate, and said you didn't care if block-time killed the illusion. My God, what a nerd you were - you are... I guess you still favour B-theory? (Pre-Chorus) Time's a river, some would say, but that would mean you're washed away. I must believe that time's a cloth and everything that ever was is in its weft and weave, and so you'll stay. Please help me believe it today. (Chorus 2) The past, the now, the days ahead, They all exist, just like you said. We can't quite touch, but you’re not far. You’re in my head, you're in my heart. All our days, all at once, not just in memory, but right here in every part of me. (Bridge) Our minds move through the moments, but I can feel them all; you never died. The day we danced, the time you cried. We're still living, side by side. "Now"'s a bookmark, not a page to lose. You’re here with me, as long as I choose to lean right into B-theory. (Chorus 3) The past, the now, the days ahead, They’re all alive, you can't be dead. When I call your name, you turn to hear. I know you do, you seem so near. All our days, good and bad, all so dear to me. still right here, tight in memory. (Outro) I'll learn to love the now again, I know you'd want me to.. But for now my friend, I need a piece of you. I'll let the fabric hold us tight, The day we met, the love we knew. Help me believe, at least tonight, That I can be with you
