Memories Are Now - Jesca Hoop

I was not there

I won’t be there

I’m only here

Memories are now

I can carry this weight

I can stand up tall

Look you in the eye

You haven’t broken me yet

You don’t scare me to death

You don’t scare me at all

Though you try

I’ve lived enough life

I’ve earned my stripes

With my knife in the ground

This is mine

Clear the way, I’m coming through

No matter what you say

I’ve got work to be doing

If you’re not here to help

Go find some other life to ruin

Let me show you the door

And the only fear

Is a thing called fear

I am only here

I have only now

To bear the load

To feel my way

Trust my mistakes

I’ve seen you before

I know your face

I fell for that line, shame on you

You’ve got this idea

I can be fooled again with the line

Shame on me

Clear the way, I’m coming through

No matter what you say

I’ve got work to be doing

If you’re not here to help

Go find some other life to ruin

You have outstayed your welcome

Best get up, get on, get movin'

Get movin', get movin', get movin'

Let me show you the door

Memories are now

Memories are now

Memories are now

And every doubt is just

A trigger proving strength

Clear the way, I’m coming through

No matter what you say

I’ve got work to be doing

If you’re not here to help

Go find some other life to ruin

Take a bite out of me

Find you’ve got more than you’re happy chewin'

You have outstayed your welcome

Best get up, get on, get movin'

Get movin', get movin', get movin', get movin'

Let me show you the door

Memories are now
