Everybody’s rushing with their lives So they take what’s easy They takeout Chinese food for dinner They find the song they like online They read the synopsis instead of the book They say good night too early only to find themselves awake at 2 am looking for someone to talk to They make 3-in-1 cups of coffee They type, they forget to write But you darling, you’re not made for the “now” You’re not made to-go You’re not made for takeouts You’re for later You’re for enjoying lunch for an hour You’re watching sunsets for dinner Because time will never run out for something that is not meant for the time being Let’s take this moment in and stay still We’re not for now We don’t need to figure out how Because darling, we’re not made for now.

Chinese takeout
Everybody’s rushing with their lives So they take what’s easy They takeout Chinese food for dinner They find the song they like online They read the synopsis instead of the book They say good night too early only to find themselves awake at 2 am looking for someone to talk to They make 3-in-1 cups of coffee They type, they forget to write But you darling, you’re not made for the “now” You’re not made to-go You’re not made for takeouts You’re for later You’re for enjoying lunch for an hour You’re watching sunsets for dinner Because time will never run out for something that is not meant for the time being Let’s take this moment in and stay still We’re not for now We don’t need to figure out how Because darling, we’re not made for now.
