Not Now But Soon Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Not now but soon
The most beautiful light
Will wake us to pillow fighting excitement
Not now but soon
Right into every corner
Satellites maneuvering beams of change

[Chorus]
Standing by the best days of our lives
Magnificent, the best days of our lives
Big bang boom, the best days of our lives
Are coming right up
If we can just get through this one

[Verse 2]
Who said it was over?
It's as good as it gets
But we got a few tricks up our sleeves yet
If we swallow "it's all over"
And open wide on these make-to-believe
Sullen, chewed-up, sodden soliloquies
Oh, we're sweet nothings anymore

[Chours]
Terrifying best days of our lives
(Best days of our lives)
We're hanging on the best days of our lives
(Best days of our lives)
No two ways about it, best days of our lives
(Best days of our lives)
Oh, they're coming right up
If we can just get through this one
[Bridge]
I'll hang on, grab onto your feet
Someone else holds tight to my shoelaces
When their trouser leg tears
Runs and stops at the seam
To keep us dangled together
Until help finds us here
I'll hang on, grab onto your feet
Someone else holds tight to my shoelaces
When their trouser leg tears
Runs and stops at the seam
To keep us dangled together
Until help finds us here

[Chorus]
Best days of our lives
Better be the best days of our lives
Bring on the best days of our lives
Coming right up
Woah, coming right up

[Outro]
If we can just get through this one
