Not Soon Enough

from Not Soon Enough by Andy McGarvie

lyrics

This could be the start of something beautiful
Or this could be the end of everything I've ever known
Turning on a screw stripping all the thread
Learning something different every day until I'm dead
But something's gotta give
And I'm sure it will
But I'm learning how to live
While standing still

We think that we're owed something like we're entitled to a place we haven't earned
We think that we know something so we try to forget everything we've learned
And right now is not soon enough we say
Because tomorrow seems too far away

Give someone an inch and they'll take a mile
Ignorance is bliss and that is never out of style
Learning all the rules just to break them all again
Once upon a time this rebellion made some sense
It seems that it's the age
Of ‘information sans frontier’
Yet we no longer have space
Or maybe worse still we just don't care

We think that we're owed something like we're entitled to a place we haven't earned
We think that we know something so we try to forget everything we've learned
And right now is not soon enough we say
Because tomorrow seems too far away

Tomorrow seems too far away
