[Verse 1]
I don’t know if I am happy with anything anymore
I’m not complaining I’m just a bit unsure about
Who I am where I stand, when does my part fit in
Seems like everybody’s falling in love with their path
And I’m hesitating and building my tracks
If somebody else tells me just to relax
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish it was that easy to shut it all off
I wish it was that simple to know I’m enough
I wish I could pretend that I’m doing it
And I’m not wrapped up and I’m losing it
When I’m out with my friends I’m not really though I’m just waiting for my dreams to call up my phone I can’t keep this up I’m original
And it’s killing me more than you know
[Chorus]
I just want to be here now
Cause I know that I can be here now
Maybe I should be more open about it but don’t gеt me started
Cause oncе in my head it’s kind of a mess
I’m trying to clean
Don’t know what I should keep
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish it was that easy to shut it all off
I wish it was that simple to know I’m enough
I wish I could pretend that I’m doing it
And I’m not wrapped up and I’m losing it
When I’m out with my friends I’m not really though I’m just waiting for my dreams to call up my phone I can’t keep this up I’m original
And it’s killing me more than you know
[Chorus]
I just want to be here now
Cause I know that I can be here now
[Outro]
I don’t want to be fake
Unoriginal
Trying to keep up with all these decisions now
I just wanna be here now be here now I just wanna be here now
And I wanna stay for a minute now
Cause I just want 60 seconds for myself
I just wanna be here now be here now I just wanna be here now

This song was our biggest struggle—elijah and I almost killed each other over this one. I walked into it thinking it would just be piano and vocals. And he, of course, being the producer, was like, ‘OK, let’s add different elements.’ And I was just like, ‘No! It’s too much. It needs to be stripped d...
