(Verse 1) Heavy air in the stage’s wings, Yesterday’s waves in my ears. Once it starts, it melts away, Thoughts drown in the sound. (Verse 2) Half-step off in song five, I look out to the crowd. No fear left in their eyes, But I see the shadow behind. (Pre-Chorus) Lights burn white in the room, Your hand stops with the towel. “We should drift apart,” you say, “I still want to stay.” (Chorus) “For now” — it cuts through my chest, Heavier than forever. No promise of tomorrow, But this truth fits us. Sydney night fades away. (Bridge) Your breath beside me, calm, Morning tension gone. Something I want to protect, Though nothing’s done yet. (Final Chorus) “For now” — I make it my vow, Even if not forever. Next city’s unknown hue, This truth gets us through. For now, I’m by your side. (Outro) Plane window, quiet dark, Tiny lights fade out. For now, still by your side. For now, just by your side.
