In a little while 
The lines will deepen on our faces 
As the longest mile 
Begins to circle home 
Can’t help thinking that 
We regulate our deepest feelings 
Like a thermostat 
To match our comfort zone 
As we stand here toe to toe 
If you kiss me now I’ll know 
That our happiness is just a matter of permission 

If not now when 
It's now or never 
We've just one life to live together 
So little time to stop and mourn 
What might have been 
If not now when 
It's now or never 
All things must end 
There's no forever 
So little time to stop and mourn 
What might have been 
If not now when 

In a little while 
Our world will crack in hairline traces 
Like a crooked smile 
A Mona Lisa grin 
At the very end 
I’ll liberate these inhibitions 
But I can’t pretend 
It’s easy to begin 
Cause the devil that disturbs 
Daring acts and candid words 
Is the part of me that worries it’s too late to love you 

Maybe on another day 
Always something in the way 
Now I realize that life is one long string of somethings.
