I Can't Think About It Now Lyrics - All Your Favorite Bands - Dawes

If you're just asking for a reason 

Reasons are everywhere you look 

The only difference between them 

Are which you gave and which you took 

Every smile with some dark anticipation 

And dreams of back before it settled in their brows 

I don't remember when you first began to notice 

But I can't think about it now 

I can't think about it now 

The latest singer's latest single's got me listening 

For the pact between the writer and the star 

This is how mythology is written 

This is where the lawless jungles are 

She's just a singer living mostly after midnight 

Pumping blood and money back into a town 

And it all eventually betrays her 

But I can't think about it now 

I can't think about it now 

So I guess it makes me wonder what I'm chasing 

Like a dancer when she's breaking in her shoes 

Like sending men up to the moon just for the landing 

Displaying power we don't know how else to use 

Sometimes it's more than I can handle 

Sometimes it's all the joy I've found 

And it'll all end up on one side or the other 

But I can't think about it now 

The decades that are hidden in the sidewalks 

The narrative that naturally occurs 

The everlasting wisdom of a sports bar 

The poison that's mistaken for a cure 

All these backward glances putting me in danger 

Of forgetting how to turn myself around 

It's just that time just keeps on slipping through my fingers 

But I can't think about it now 

I can't think about it now 

I can't think about it now 

I can't think about it now
