Any Day Now
Embracing Uncertainty: A Reflection on Life's Fragility
Lyrics
How long, how long, how long will we take to come undone?
Expressing impatience or concern about when things will fall apart or unravel.
If you know the answer tell me now and I'll write up a calendar for our count down.
Pondering the duration until a potential separation, seeking clarity and a plan.
'Cause what if what we see is all, is all we've got?
Raising the question of whether the current reality is all that exists or all that will be.
Say you've kept some fire aside to set light to me some surprising night.
Imagining a hidden passion or intensity saved for a surprising moment to ignite a connection.
And say you've locked some fire away to set light to me some surprising day.
Similar to line 5, emphasizing the anticipation of a surprising day for a meaningful encounter.
To me some surprising day, any day now
Reiterating the expectation of a special day to come, emphasizing the uncertainty of when.
How come, how come, how come I'm now on a road holding out my thumb?
Expressing curiosity or frustration about the current situation while hitchhiking on a road.
If you know my destination please buy me the fastest car and throw me the keys.
If aware of the destination, asking for swift assistance in reaching it.
'Cause what if what we see is all, is all we've got?
Repeating the contemplation of whether the present is the entirety of existence.
Say you've kept some fire aside to set light to me some surprising night.
Imagining a reserved passion to ignite a connection on an unexpected night.
And say you've locked some fire away to set light to me some surprising day.
Similar to line 13, emphasizing the anticipation of a surprising day for a meaningful encounter.
'Cause finger by finger we're losing grasp and
Describing a gradual loss of control or connection, possibly in a relationship.
I'm questioning the reason why nothing beautiful does last
Expressing doubt and questioning why beautiful things seem to be fleeting.
Say you've kept some fire aside to set light to me some surprising night.
Reiterating the idea of a stored passion to ignite a connection, emphasizing a surprising night.
And say you've locked some fire away to set light to me some surprising day,
Similar to line 19, emphasizing the anticipation of a surprising day for a meaningful encounter.
To me some surprising dayany day now.
Reiterating the expectation of a special day to come, emphasizing the uncertainty of when.
