Here Today - Aloe Blacc

All I know for sure is that nothing is forever

And all that matters is how we get along together

Life is harder every day that I get older

I hope I figure out why I’m here before it’s over

Cuz we’re here today (hey!), and gone tomorrow

We’re here today (hey!), and gone tomorrow

Lead the way (hey!), never follow

Here today (hey!), and gone tomorrow

I’ve been stuck at home alone on nights when no one calls (woah)

And I’ve had nights where I could take my pick or have 'em all (yeah)

And I’ve had those days where I search my pockets for a nickel and a dime (woah)

And I’ve had those days where trying to make money was a waste of my time

I’ve had shiny brand new leather penny loafers

And I’ve had torn-up, soiled teddys handed-over

All I know for sure is that nothing is forever

And all that matters is how we get along together

Cuz we’re here today (hey!), and gone tomorrow

We’re here today (hey!), and gone tomorrow

Through the joy (hey!), and the sorrow

We’re here today (hey!), and gone tomorrow

We aint promised tomorrow, so I’m gonna live for today

Been from five star hotels to cockroach motels

And Rodeo Drive retail to thrift store resale

I’ve had chauffeured town cars to an old broken-down car

It aint what happens to you, it’s what you do about it

Cuz we’re here today (hey!), and gone tomorrow

Here today (hey!), and gone tomorrow

Lead the way (hey!), never follow

Here today (hey!), and gone tomorrow

Here today (hey!)
