The Present Is Sorting Out Songtext
von allie

you look so tired wrapped in your blankets
but i don′t want you to go
and though i struggle with commitment
i never wanted you to know

i got fired from my job today
making eight dollars an hour
and though i struggled with commitment
i shouldn't say it like i′m proud of it,
proud of it, proud of it

all i know
is that i've been letting go
of the past
and the present is sorting out
all i want
is to see you off
into a love
that can be better for you now


and i could tell how much he loved her
by the way he said her name
and when she leaned over to kiss me
i said no for an hour, but then i did it anyway

all i know
is that i love you both
but sometimes
i begin to lose sight of myself
all i want
is to wash this off
and start again
i'll be a better friend

and we used to say
the hardest part was the first goodbye
so much has changed
but your face still keeps me up at night

all i know
is that i′ve been letting go
of the past


and the present is sorting out
all i want
is to see you off
into a love
that can be better for you now
that can be better for you now
that can be better for you now
