FROM NOW ON

words and music by Kasey Anderson

another june is comin’
september on its heels
january caught me by surprise,
i got flattened out beneath its wheels
stood up in time to watch you leavin’
never seen you move so fast
sometimes I play it all back in reverse
and I can almost convince myself you’re comin’ back
up all night in my apartment
trying to learn your favorite song
honey, I’ll keep the bad things from you
from now on

it started in a stairwell
it started in my car
we started out like kids
falling with the snow, laughing at the dark
you said it ended kinda funny
i guess it had to end
and you can bury something as deep as you want to
but that don’t mean it’s dead
and you know I’m sorry
and I know I was wrong
but, honey, I’ll make it right with you
from now on

and you been movin’ round in circles
while I kept a straighter line
but look at that, we wound up right back here
we’re just on the other side this time
and there’s gotta be a reason
i’m still standing at your door
and you always said you were a hopeless romantic
well here’s that hopeless romance you been waiting for
and I know you took a lot of chances
and sometimes you feel too tired to carry on
but if you let me in, I’ll be the man you wanted
from now on
