Текст песни Now & Forever - Cloud-9

Time is at a standstill so we can't feel
Anything at all. Everything that you were taught
Question if it was real and if time heals all
Wounds you'd assume that we'd all be gods
Aw damn, there's another faux pas
"How could this happen in a world that's on pause?"
You ask yourself. You call for help
But you're yelling in a mirror regardless of what you thought
Just let it go. Wave it off. Tell it bye bye
Grounded to reality, you need to learn to fly high
Take the shackles off. You're a slave to your own mind
But I don't mind if you're late or you're on time
As long as you find what you are searching for
But don't you show up empty handed knocking on my door
If you find the key then you can let yourself in
But I imagine that'll never ever happen
You know it's kind of strange
I can see myself in your eyes as you're gazing deep into mine
There's nothing to find. I'm soulless in your sight
Or is it my sight? Fuck it. Let's say hindsight
Is twenty-twenty. Forty love is more than plenty
But I want to keep on winning
Game. Set. Match, my way. How about that
Now it's time to pour this Henny
I live fast do you think that you can keep up with me?
And I know what you're thinking
But girl it's the weekend
And I cannot resist
Giving into temptation
If you think you can take it
Just answer one question

Can you read between these lines
The ones you've crossed time after time?
Nobody's perfect but I don't deserve this
If I'm being honest then you're just not worth it

But now and forever I'll always treasure
The time we spent together
And although you're not here for reasons unclear
I hope you'll remember
Now and forever. The ties we must sever
Remain in my broken heart
But now my mind's strong so I'll carry on
I won't fall apart

I said "Who the hell do you think I am?" He said a piece of shit
I wrote a 'the' in front of it then thanked him for the compliment
Cause that's a new accomplishment considering your girls time is spent
Disregarding the consequence of sucking on my confidence
Oops did I just say that out loud?
Yo, I did you a favor. Now you both have something to talk about
Call me what you want, but there was no I could figure out
The words she said to you weren't
The sweetest things to escape her mouth
Oh man. Man, oh man
Deja Vu all over again
But now I'm on the other side of the mirror and things are clearer
Picking what I choose to remember. Heart's colder than December
No, wait. This doesn't feel right
Somehow, I failed to realize
That time is still frozen deep down in my heart
So that wound will never heal as long as time plays a part
I had the chance to break the cycle. Love and hate, a violent spiral
Out of control. Now where do I go from here now? I'm out my mental
Acting superficial. Careful there's no Mercy there to rez you
All I hear is bass and treble as I'm dancing with the devil
Welcome to the final level. Demons? There are kind of, several
Shadows wishing to be free? Just tell them you are not me!
'Cause I'll have to face myself just to escape from this hell
I'm having a Golden Time, 'cause I'm haunted by my former self

Tell me, can you hear this sound?
I was lost but now I'm found
What goes up will come down
Tell me, can you hear this sound?
I was lost but now I'm found
What goes up will come down

Goodbye, my friend, and thank you again
Though we don't talk I'm glad that we met
And while I'm not qualified just yet
Still in the end I love you

But can you read between these lines
The ones you've crossed time after time?
Nobody's perfect, but I don't deserve this
If I'm being honest, then you're just not worth it
(But I want you to know)

But now and forever, I'll always treasure
The time we spent together
And although it's unfair that I am not there
I hope you'll remember
(But I want you to know)
Now and forever. The ties we must sever
Remain in my broken heart
I've picked up the pieces. I've picked up the pieces!
It's time for me to move on

From now and forever (Read between these lines)
From now and forever (Time after time)
From now and forever (I don't deserve this)
Now and forever
