Only Every Now and Then

I'm not where I thought I'd be
I hope that doesn't say too much about me
I thought that I would be farther from here
I'd hoped that I'd have done more
But that's O.K. it doesn't really matter at all
It doesn't really matter much to me

I'm not who I thought I'd be
I'm just stuck here being me
I'm not quite sure now who is to blame
sometimes things happen, that's all
But that's O.K. it doesn't really come up at all
It's only every now and then that I care

Not looking back
Why should I?
When it seems so clear that
The Future is not what it used to be
The Future is not what it used to be
The Future is not what it used to be

I'm not what I thought I'd be
I used to think there was much more to me
somewhere back there buried in dust
lies a vision I lost
But that's O.K. it doesn't really matter at all
It doesn't really matter much to me

I'm not what I used to be
I have new visions for me
Moving farther from an old friend
who I can barely recall
But that's O.K. it doesn't really come up at all
It's only every now and then that I care

Not looking back
Why should I?
When it seems so clear that
The Future is not what it used to be
The Future is not what it used to be
The Future is not what it used to be
