state of affairs

CHORUS:

Everything will stay okay, maybe not forever

But hopefully it will stay this way, stay this way

Just for today

Everything will be alright, maybe not tomorrow

But hopefully it will be alright, be alright

Just for tonight

And everything will stay just peachy f---ing keen

Just for a little while, do you follow what I mean

Everything just seems so simple,

everything just seems so planned

and everything just stays so normal

it just stays and its so bland

and I’d just like for things to be a little different

a little change would be so grand

[chorus]

and this world seems so good

perhaps its not as good as it seems

but at least it seems so stable

seems like its not coming apart at the seams

but does this place live up to

expectations I have of it

can I linger here and love it

will it live up to my dreams

I see the world through a child’s eyes

Like a newborn infant

But it seems to me

That I’d trade away eternity

Just to live this instant

[chorus]

cause everything just seems so pleasant

perhaps just for the present

the present is a present you can open

when you open up your mind

but maybe I’m sick of getting presents

and sitting in your presence

and maybe my escape will present itself,

present itself in proper time
