about

this was like the first marguerito song ever with us as a live band, written in fall 2011

lyrics

I wanna keep it
I wanna reap the benefits
And I wanna dance to Genesis
I'm gonna be less hesitant but

Got a secret
I want less resistance
And I want to rate time now but something’s missing
And the ingredient is distance yeah

It’s in my system
I'm losing my aggression
I'm checking out the present
And I'm trying less desperately to get everybody friends with me
I need less attention
I'm vacating the premises

I checked out of all of my scenes
And it feels right
Sorta feels like
When the field’s wide open
But the frame is frozen

I got three options, the present with a body
And a nose ring
Or blurred nostalgia and biding
In derision and reluctant and plagued by
Indecision, I'm sucked in in time

I’m checking out the present
I'm no longer a resident of the past
It’s history and the future’s obsessed with me
If I lived in the moment and squandered the rest
Tell my family I’m sorry
My mind must have left me
