Lyrics I'm Here Now - The Drones, Gareth Liddiard, Dan Luscombe

I'm Here Now

Yeah
You’ve gone from perfect to divine
You’ve gone from perfect to divine
You’ve gone from perfect to divine
You’ve gone from perfect to divine
You’ve gone from perfect to divine
You’ve gone from perfect to divine
I said
Time heals
And time forgets
Your pots, pans, your garbage
And all of your photographs
Have been thrown out into the street
And I stood back in shock
‘Cause now your shit
It just looked so lost without you
I broke a window
Busted your steering lock
And I cleared out of town
Without you
I said that time heals
And time forgets
But time arrived at motel ceiling fans
That just hang there above
Your empty head
After the rent is paid
And your heart’s gone dead
Your friends have gone
You have a hunted face
Outside the heaving fields
Are draped as heavy as lead
Where the dead wood aches
For reprieve from a fate
That seems so fleeting at a distance
'til that distance is tamed
I tell you, time does not heal
And it don’t forget, no
It just drowns you when you’re thirsty and you’re lame
It’s when you kneel to drink the water
And the water is flame
It is flame
Time heals
And time forgets
It’s doing fine without you
Your radiator still overheats
And now your starter motor
Just refuses to turn
I tell you nothing’s really changed
But I am not the same
And you take
Up all my time
Yeah you take
Up all my time
You’ve gone from perfect to divine
You’ve gone from perfect to divine
You’ve gone from perfect to divine
You’ve gone from perfect to divine
You’ve gone from perfect to divine
You’ve gone from perfect to divine
I never understood
Although you tried
You tried to explain
While you were alive
What had turned the face I’d loved
Into a stranger’s
I’m staring up into
A perfect night
Everything is so wrong
But the time is right
And for the first time now
I’m looking right at you
I am here now
And it does not have a name
It’s where you kneel to drink the water
And the water is flame
Yeah, it is flame
Flame
