For Now is the fifth song on indie singer-songwriter Leith Ross' debut EP. The song deals with themes of growing up, platonic love, and finding reasons to stay alive.
[Verse 1]
My first week back at school
I went to the hospital
Because my spine was inflamed
My family made the drive
At 1 o'clock at night
To bring me home again
A couple of months went by
I would often cry
Told my parents when I stopped avoiding calls
They surprised me then
Said they would drive again
If I needed nothing more than to feel like I was small
[Chorus]
So I'll stay for now
'Cause I'm tired out
But there's something 'bout the snow
I guess I'll stay for now
Just 'til I make it out
Until I say that I no longer want to go
[Verse 2]
I asked my friend last night
If he wouldn't mind
Driving an hour outside of town
He came to pick me up
Didn't make me talk at all
Dropped me off, said goodnight, and turned around
[Chorus]
So I'll stay for now
'Cause I'm tired out
But there's something 'bout the snow
I guess I'll stay for now
Just 'til I make it out
Until I say that I no longer wanna go
[Bridge]
I don't wanna go
Though I can't see it
I don't wanna go
Repeat 'til I believe it
[Chorus]
So I'll stay for now
'Cause I'm tired out
But there's something 'bout the snow
I guess I'll stay for now
Just 'til I make it out
Until I say that I no longer want to go
