Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to be dreaming when I was driving
I used to be leaving when I was arriving
I used to be calling when I was walking
I used to be thinking when I was talking
[Verse 2]
I used to be counting when I was sharing
I used to be blanking when I was staring
I used to be rolling when I was parking
I used to be raining when I was sparking
[Chorus]
Today, I do what's in front of me now
Today, I do what's in front of me now
[Verse 3]
I used to be stopping while I trying
I used to be landing before I was flying
I used to be haunting, not just remembering
In the middle of summer, I was Decembring
[Verse 4]
Always re-writing what I was reading
But also doubting what I was conceiving
I used to be dropping when I was collecting
I could have been building, but I was dissecting
[Chorus]
Today, I do what's in front of me now
Today, I do what's in front of me, what's in front of me
I do what's in front of me now
[Verse 5]
I used to be missing when I was kissing
Why wasn't I present? I could have been living
I used to be dodging when I was catching
I used to be dying, I could have been hatching
[Verse 6]
I used to be drowning when I was drinking
I was only masking, I could have been feeling
You used to surround me whenever you found me
I could have learned more from the friends I had 'round me
[Verse 7]
I used to be falling when I was leaning
Catastrophe courting, I could have been dreaming
I was careening, looking for meaning
Wish I was relaxing, I could have been breathing
[Chorus]
Today, I do what's in front of me now
Today, I do what's in front of me, what's in front of me
[Outro]
Oh, there's too many lanes
There's too much to see in the frame at once
There's too much to contain
I do what's in front of me, what's in front of me
Oh, there's too much terrain
I can never explain it all
It's too much for my brain
I do what's in front of me, what's in front of me
I do what's in front of me, what's in front of me
I do what's in front of me now
