Now Is Exactly the Time Songtext

von Noah And The Whale

If you can you should try and learn to forgive yourself
Night and day the world
Would try and make you someone else
But you're not alone on the earth tonight
No, you're not alone in the blinking light.

Oh, victory will be one and lost a thousand times
So if you can, offer empathy, don't get lost in pride
Oh, forgive your friends, they are only young
Oh, forgive your friends like you've always done.

Oh, cause now it's exactly the time
To be out on your own again.
Oh, now it's exactly the time to turn your head from the past.

And if you can, try and get to know your parents well
Forgive them, too, they are more like you than you can tell.
When they give advice, offer sympathy,
They're just showing you who they want you to be.

Oh, now it's exactly the time
To be out on your own again.
Oh, now it's exactly the time to turn your head
Oh, now it's exactly the time
To be out on your own again.
Oh, now it's exactly the time to turn your head from the past.

And I can spend a lifetime searching for someone to blame
And don't look back, don't feel ashamed.
And I can spend a lifetime searching for someone to blame
And don't look back, don't feel ashamed.

Oh, now it's exactly the time
To be out on your own again.
Oh, now it's exactly the time to turn your head
Oh, now it's exactly the time
To be out on your own again.
Oh, now it's exactly the time to turn your head from the past...
