“This was a story of a couple who got back together and how challenging it can be having history but finally learning to let it all go.” -Nina Nesbitt
[Verse 1]
We're sitting in a taxi, racing on the 405
We just left the party, off Dakota Drive
Now you're shouting from the left seat
You take your hand off my thigh
And I wish I could explain, but you say I lie
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The truth is I got jealous she was with you and my ex
And when you walked on over, I got a pain in my chest
And I know I wasn't sober but I meant what I said to you
And I don't wanna break I wanna work this through
'Cause when I think about my future all I think about is you
But we're the only reason that we ever seem to argue
[Chorus]
Gotta keep in the moment, gotta keep in the now
Gotta keep it, oh keep it, I gotta keep it way deep down
Gotta keep in the moment, I'm in love with you now
Gotta keep it, oh keep it, I gotta keep it way deep down
Keep it way deep down
Keep it way deep down
[Verse 2]
'Cause he was just first love
Doesn't mean he's the one
And now you're running in circles
Over and over
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So many complications in our new relationship
But getting back together's always gonna be a risk
Now either we let go of the past or we'll be part of it
But parts of my past have hurt me so bad
And although I'm over it I am still close
To the memories I have, I hope you understand
'Cause I'm ready to bury this all in the sand
[Chorus]
Gotta keep in the moment, gotta keep in the now
Gotta keep it, oh keep it, I gotta keep it way deep down
Gotta keep in the moment, I'm in love with you now
Gotta keep it, oh keep it, I gotta keep it way deep down
Keep it way deep down
Keep it way deep down
Keep it, oh keep it
[Bridge]
We're like California rain in the summer
And I don't wanna run for cover, no
Soaking you into my skin
Drowning out those that have been
(Gotta keep in the moment, keep in the moment, oh)
[Bridge]
We're like California rain in the summer
And I don't wanna run for cover, oh
Soaking you into my skin
Drowning out those that have been
(Keep in the moment, keep in the moment, oh)
[Chorus]
Gotta keep in the moment, gotta keep in the now
Gotta keep it, oh keep it, I gotta keep it way deep down
Gotta keep in the moment, I'm in love with you now
Gotta keep it, oh keep it, I gotta keep it way deep down
[Outro]
Gotta keep in the moment, keep it way deep down
Gotta keep in the moment, keep it way deep down
Gotta keep in the moment, keep it, oh keep it
Gotta keep in the moment, keep it way deep down
(Keep it way deep down, keep it way deep down)

“It’s a story I heavily related to in my own life and has a message which I think is really important in any situation. ‘Keep in the moment, keep in the now’. Accepting people’s pasts and living for the now is key to any happy relationship I think. This was a story of a couple who got back together...
