[Verse 1]
I was watering ghosts in the morning
Pouring my heart on a grave
Writing love letters to shadows
Begging the past to behave
I was chasing mirages at midnight
Thirsty for things I ain't seen
Running in circles on smoke rings
Losing the now in between
[Chorus]
So I bring my feelings here
Right here
Right now (oh yeah)
Not back then
Not someday
Only this breath allowed
When I attach to the present
That's when it all turns real
Watering ghosts
Chasing mirages
Or standing here learning to feel
[Verse 2]
Every old hurt like a movie
Every “one day” like a drug
Both of them pulling me sideways
Out of the one place I'm loved
So I lay my hands on this moment
Bless every tear on my face
Heaven is humming inside me
Only awake in this place (this place)
[Chorus]
So I bring my feelings here
Right here
Right now (oh yeah)
Not back then
Not someday
Only this breath allowed
When I attach to the present
That's when it all turns real
Watering ghosts
Chasing mirages
Or standing here learning to feel
[Bridge]
I won't feed what has faded
I won't chase what ain't here
Every step in this second
Is a prayer I can hear (hey!)
If I'm holding you right now
Then I'm finally alive
All my joy
All my sorrow
In this heartbeat I rise
[Chorus]
So I bring my feelings here
Right here
Right now (oh yeah)
Not back then
Not someday
Only this breath allowed
When I attach to the present
That's when it all turns real
Watering ghosts
Chasing mirages
I choose this touch
I choose this thrill
