Noah, the Whale - Now Is Exactly the Time lyrics

If you can you should try
And learn to forgive yourself
Night and day the world would try
And make you someone else
But, you’re not alone on the earth tonight
No, you’re not alone in the blinking light
Oh, victory will be won and
Lost a thousand times
So if you can, offer empathy
Don’t get lost in pride
Oh, forgive your friends, they are only young
Oh, forgive your friends like
You’ve always done

Oh, cause now it’s exactly the time
To be out on your own again
Oh, now it’s exactly the time to
Turn your head from the past

And if you can
Try and get to know your parents well
Forgive them, too
They are more like you than you can tell
When they give advice, offer sympathy
They’re just showing you who they
Want you to be

Oh, now it’s exactly the time
To be out on your own again
Oh, now it’s exactly the time
To turn your head
Oh, now it’s exactly the time
To be out on your own again
Oh, now it’s exactly the time to
Turn your head from the past

And I can spend a lifetime
Searching for someone to blame
And don’t look back, don’t feel ashamed
And I can spend a lifetime
Searching for someone to blame
And don’t look back, don’t feel ashamed

Oh, now it’s exactly the time
To be out on your own again
Oh, now it’s exactly the time
To turn your head
Oh, now it’s exactly the time
To be out on your own again
Oh, now it’s exactly the time to
Turn your head from the past
