Moments Passed (Brownstein/Battat)

The years been long, you wait

Count the steps you take

Put ‘em in a cardboard box, throw it away

You won’t need those things here today

You measure your success

By the times you’ve failed your best

Don’t you think by now you’d put it all to rest

Pin it to your chest and wear it proud

I wanna hear you say it loud

Let’s forget tomorrow

Let’s forget today

Let’s forget all the little things we tried to say

It’s okay, alright, cause the moments that pass

Don’t define us any longer than they last

I’ve never known a person

Who always got it right

Maybe you know them but they’re not here tonight

They’re off chasing some distant light

I’ve never been one who’s sure what to say

Words come out of me in every which way

But if you listen close you’ll find meaning in the mess

What I say or what I do

Is it getting through to you?

Let’s forget tomorrow

Let’s forget today

Let’s forget all the little things we tried to say

It’s okay, alright, cause the moments that pass

Don’t define us any longer than they last

Each day you hold your tongue is another song you could have sung

And every time we speak it gets me closer to finding what I seek

So let’s stop holding on, let’s stop holding on

To something that might not be waiting when we get there
