I wake up every morning and I'm thinking about tomorrow
I'm already worried about all the things I need to be
Will I ever fall in love? Will I regret the path I'm taking?
Will I disappoint my parents, or will they be proud of me?

Time keeps on turning
And I keep on learning

I could spend my whole life chasing what I'm missing
Or I could miss my whole life trying to change the past
But I wouldn't change a single thing, even if I could somehow
I'd rather be here now

I go to bed each evening, I'm replaying my whole day
Did I spend too much time wrapped up in work, not family?
Have I given them enough, and do they know how much I love them?
Did I make the right decisions? Will my kids be proud of me?

And time keeps on turning
And I keep on learning

I could spend my whole life chasing what I'm missing
Or I could miss my whole life trying to change the past
But I wouldn't change a single thing, even if I could somehow
I'd rather be here

Now (I'd rather be, I'd rather be here now)
(I'd rather be, I'd rather be here now)
(I'd rather be, I'd rather be)
(I'd rather be here)

I could spend my whole life chasing what I'm missing
Or I could miss my whole life trying to change the past (be here now)
But I wouldn't change a single thing, even if I could somehow (if I could somehow)
I'd rather be here now
(I'd rather be, I'd rather be)
I'd rather be here now
