Every day I remember those memories,
doing my best to busy myself hoping I'll forget,
but I never forget.
I know hiding these feelings won't help but that's what I do.
Scared of the past, living in the future, and day dreaming the present away.
It's time to forgive and forget, to tell the truth and reconcile,
because I'm growing up everyday.
Learning from the past, thinking of the future and living in the present.
I won't be much longer, I'm coming home and I can see the finish line.
Will you be waiting there? Waving and wearing a welcoming smile.

26, red lights, rough feet and welcoming smiles.
I see you for the first time, mesmerised too shy,
so I watch you from the table, you stand by idly playing those eyes.
We say goodbye and it doesn't catch me...
Until I'm back some how, my friends have all gone and I'm waiting,
that's when you strike me, I scratch my leg trying to ignore,
easily seduced honesty my sanctuary.
From then on I'm a mess,
old dreams and fictional fantasies,
I only have a name should I look for you?
Is this what my body wants?
Is this what my body wants or is this all in my head?
It's fear fiction I shouldn't look for you,
I saw your picture, sat and stared, caught between disbelief and prophecy.
should I look for you?
Was it pride that I kept my hands to myself? Was out of commitment? was it out of love? or was I just scared?

It’s been a long time coming
Why do I always get this way?
I will say that’ll try my best
But we both know I’ll do the same
Be faithful, be honest
Which of these do you want to be, hoe?
Slow down once in a while
They say you’ve got your whole life to go
Then why do I feel I have no time
And everything is racing by
Vacant today
I’m not the same

Present

Our continuos internal monologue comes at a cost,
ruminating all insecurities, anxieties, and fears.
Playing back those moments in your mind.
What did I just do? What I could've done, what I should've done are all reality here.
Living in the future and glorifying the past and missing your life one step at a time.
There better be a heaven if we're going to waste our time like this.
We need to start a new conversation a re-work of attitude, embrace the moment shrug of the shackles and be free of al qualms, and find your way back to the present moment. How dissatisfied with the present must you be to be constantly preparing a more fulfilling future?
When that future never arrives.
Presently perfect I am presently perfect

Arrogance clouds our minds
Everyone is a hypocrite you’ll find
Stop thinking you’ve got this worked out
I can’t be blind, can’t you understand?
You can’t be blind, can’t you understand?
What’s this? Was it something overlooked?
It must have been spoken in anger
The irony runs true
What a fool I have been
Stop thinking you’ve got this worked out
I will learn to change my mind whenever I like
And you will see I’m all grown up and here to stay

Why did I give up on those things I could’ve done well?
A new chapter to add, to a life of restarts
Why did you give up on those things you did so well?
I feel like we’re growing apart
I implore you as your friend
To listen well
I’m sorry I went away

매일 난 그 순간들을 기억해
잊으려고 바쁘게 살기위해
노력하지만 잊을수없어
이렇게 숨긴다고해서
나아질건 없지만 어쩔수없는걸
지난 과거를 두려워해 현재에서 벗어나
내가 꿈꾸는 미래안에서 머물고있어
이제 모든걸 잊고 용서해
진실을 말하고 화해의 손을 내밀어
난 하루하루 조금씩도 자라고 있으니까
과거로 부터 배워
미래를 꿈꾸며
현재를 살아
오래 걸리진 않을꺼야 곧 집으로 돌아가
결승선을 볼꺼야
너도 거기서 날 기다리고 있을까
손 흔들며 반가운 미소를 지으며

Certainly a controversial direction for the band, but this album ultimately rests as my favorite from TTNG. The technical mastery of their previous albums is still present here along with some very thought provoking and philosophical lyrics. I may not always agree with the lyrical messaging, but this is an album which rewards careful listening.
