The Here & Now

from Pantryman by Spence Hood

/

lyrics

V1
Girls don’t see the seasons change when they’ve got closets to rearrange
And a boy in their heart who lights up the dark when things go wrong.
And birthdays are wasted on the few who found someone to sing ‘em a song or two
Way down by the water, with the bottle he brought of something strong.

CHORUS
Princess listen for the sound of a prince left in the lost and found.
And what’s a girl to do when he’s gazing up at you
With those eyes that compromise the here and now?

V2
They say chivalry is dead, and the the good guys are hanging on by a thread.
Well I say good riddance, ‘cause the roses and the ribbons take their toll.
Flowers only go so far if she won’t tell you where the demons are
And this shining armor can’t illuminate the harbour of her soul.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Whether hazel like the heels that kill your feet
Or dark like the hour drive back home,
Blue like the glowing screen of short replies and quick goodbye’s
And messages you’ve left him at the tone.

CHORUS
Princess listen for the sound of a prince left in the lost and found.
And what’s a girl to do when he’s gazing up at you
With those eyes that compromise the petty lies, poorly disguised,
The fleeting, unreceding here and now?
