Only This Moment

From my new Royksopp CD that I finally bought today as a reward for finishing my work, yesterday. I'll blog more about the sprint to the finish later this week when I'm alone during some formerly-central-to-my-life global holiday, but right now I'll just leave you with these words, which have a lot of meaning to me for different reasons. The usual caveat that I at times feel like the speaker of the lyrics and at times feel like the audience applies -- oh, and there is an important change to the chorus at the end, so you have to pay attention!:

Only this moment holds us together
Close to perfection
Nothing else out there
No one to guide us
Lost in our senses
Deep down inside I know our love will die

Only this moment holds us together
Lost in confusion
Feelings are out there
Scared of devotion
Doubting intentions
Deep down inside I know our love will die

Stay or forever go
Play or you’ll never know what heaven decided
You can’t deny it’s all you’ve been waiting for

Stay or forever go
Play or you’ll never know
Your spirit’s divided
You will decide if I’m all you've been waiting for

Clouds in my head have been parted with grace
By the force of an angel revealing her face
And her words do make sense, and I do understand:
Falling in love isn’t part of a plan

Forces within me mix reason with lust
But I try to accept it and not make it worse
'Cause I know I might lose it by taking a chance
But love without pain isn’t really romance

Only this moment holds us together
Close to perfection
Nothing else out there
Always beside her
Trusting my senses
Deep down inside I know love will survive

Only this moment holds us together
Close to the other
Nothing else out there
Always beside her
Trusting my senses
Deep down inside I know love will survive
