[Verse 1]
Disobey my own decisions
I deserve all your suspicions
First it's yes and then it's no
I dilly dally-down to you, oh
But I've got no secrets
That I battle in my sleep
I won't make promises to you
That I can't keep
[Chorus]
And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense
[Verse 2]
I once lived for the future
Everyday was one day closer
Greener on the other side
Yes, I believe before I met you
I assumed that your love was
Brighter than the stars in my eyes
Now I know how and when
I know where and why
[Chorus]
And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense
[Chorus]
And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense
And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense
And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever (yes I do)
I can give you the present (I do)
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense
And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense
And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense
Disobey my own decisions
I deserve all your suspicions
First it's yes and then it's no
I dilly dally-down to you, oh
But I've got no secrets
That I battle in my sleep
I won't make promises to you
That I can't keep
[Chorus]
And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense
[Verse 2]
I once lived for the future
Everyday was one day closer
Greener on the other side
Yes, I believe before I met you
I assumed that your love was
Brighter than the stars in my eyes
Now I know how and when
I know where and why
[Chorus]
And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future

And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense
And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense
And you know that I love you

I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense
And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense
