Why can't 'then' be 'now'?
When will the time finally pass?
I'm searching for a way out,
And I've found it at last.

I'm going to go to the moon,
And I'm going to be there really soon,
But until I cross that gate,
I'll wait.

Why can't 'then' be 'now'?
When will the time finally pass?
I've found my way out,
But it won't last.

If I don't go now,
My insides will drown.
Until I can see my fate,
I'll wait.

I know where I want to be.
The clock will tick, and at its own pace.
My time will come, but till that date,
I'll wait.
