SOMETIME OTHER THAN NOW - John Hiatt

Maybe your momma didn't treat you right;
Maybe her intentions weren't even very good
Maybe your daddy laid awake at night
Imagining himself in some other neighbourhood
Left to our own devices - like maybe they were too
Out on the open road and wondering what to do
You ask how we got here: baby, don't ask how
Cause that was sometime other than now
"It takes what it takes" - that's what they told us girl
Done a lot of dumb things, probably do some more
On two different paths running round on different worlds
We finally found each other, who we were looking for
I see my own reflection and I give my love to you
It shot back like an arrow, so straight and true
You ask how we got here: baby, don't ask how
Cause that was sometime other than now
I'm not leaving babe, whatever's come, right here and now
Maybe tommorrow we can take it
I'm not grieving baby, any more - the past is gone
We can't fake it; baby let's make it with this love of ours somehow
A little bit of feel, you know it goes a long way
It's followed us around since we were little kids
Just a little faith, baby, baby, some day
We will have the strength, the strength to forgive
Don't come all of a sudden, but when it's here at last
You'd blink your eyes and miss it, it happens so fast
You ask how we got here: baby, don't ask how
Cause that was sometime other than now
Yeah that was sometime other than now
