Leave all our hopelessnesses aside (if just for a little while) Tears stop right here

Artist- Imogen Heap
Song of the day- Just for now

I was recently discussing the fantasticness that is Imogen Heap and how after I saw this video it floored me how she could create a song with mostly just her voice and clapping! Plus this song is kind of how I'm dealing with life right now, trying to get through things that I just wanna get out of by trying to enjoy little breaks of moments, the just for nows, in between the bumpy ride. It feels like pulling teeth and frantic most of the time but if you can grab those moments that get your through and be able to pause, drop all the crap you're dealing with and take break, perhaps a clap break with me and Imogen, it might help.



(Just for now) (x6)

It's that time of year,
Leave all our hopelessnesses aside (if just for a little while)
Tears stop right here,
I know we've all had a bumpy ride (I’m secretly on your side)

How did you know?
It's what I always wanted,
You can never have too many of these
Will ya quit kicking me under the table?
I'm trying, will somebody make her shut up about it?
Can we settle down please?

It's that time of year,
Leave all our hopelessnesses aside (if just for a little while)
Tears stop right here,
I know we've all had a bumpy ride (I’m secretly on your side)

Lie down
Deep breaths
Count to ten
Nod your head
(sniff sniff)

I think something is burning,
Now you've ruined the whole thing
Muffle the smoke alarm
Whoever put on this music
Had better quick, sharp, remove it
Pour me another
Oh, don't wag your finger at me

It's that time of year,
Leave all our hopelessnesses aside (if just for a little while)
Tears stop right here,
I know we've all had a bumpy ride (I’m secretly on your side)

Will ya get me outta her, Get me outta here, Get me outta here (repeats til end)
Just for now
Just for now.
