Now Is a Good Time

A city afternoon becomes a quiet refusal to keep postponing the life you mean to live.

Urban soul groove · bittersweet · encouraging · aliveLyrics by Thomas LukaschewskiOriginal language: English

Verse 1

Took a day off, just sat outside,
coffee and a beer, city rush in stride.
Watched the crowd like a moving wall,
everyone late, phones glued, can't fall.
A perfume cloud, a pastry smell,
somewhere a siren, someone yells.
They're running fast to catch their train —
but miss the view, the summer rain.

Pre-Chorus

I used to say the same old line,
“Next year's mine, I'll find the time.”
But the clock keeps grinning while it spins,
and time don't care who wins.

Chorus

Now is a good time — don't wait for signs,
dreams grow old while you draw the lines.
If you keep on saying “not today,”
you'll blink and life just walks away.
Now is a good time — come on, unwind,
you can't stand still and hope to find.
The moment's here, it's yours, it's mine —
now is a good, good time.

Verse 2

That man in grey once chased the sky,
now files his clouds and wonders why.
That girl in heels once wrote in rhyme,
but traded verse for overtime.
I see their dreams behind their eyes,
like paper planes that never fly.
And I can feel the tug inside —
I almost joined that waiting line.

Pre-Chorus

I used to plan each breath I'd take,
now I just breathe for breathing's sake.
The traffic sings, the air's alive,
I'm breathing proof that dreams survive.

Bridge

Hey — don't blink, the years are fast,
the next one might just be your last.
You've talked of someday all your life,
but someday's now — so cut the strife.
Your heartbeat drums, the stage is set —
it's not too late, but almost yet.

Final Chorus

Now is a good time — come on, don't hide,
kick off the rules, enjoy the ride!
If joy's a song, then sing your line,
yeah, now is a good, good time.
Now is a good time — no more decline,
step from the shade into sunshine.
The moment's here, it's yours, it's mine —
now is a good, good time!

Outro

Tomorrow's calling — that's just fine,
I'll meet it when it feels like time.
