The Moment Lyrics
In the end, it's stronger than I know how to be
And I can't just spend my whole lifetime wondering
I fell in love with the sound of my heels on the wooden floor
I don't want my footsteps to be silent anymore
[Refrain]
Want them to be in the moment
Storm clouds are closing
[Verse 2]
In the end, it's coming, there's nothing left to do
But I'm still not certain, just how I'm gonna feel
[Refrain]
I'll only know in the moment (Ooh)
Anticipation growing (Ooh)
[Chorus]
It's getting closer
Ooh, it's getting closer
It's getting closer (I'm not ready)
Ooh, it's getting closer (I need a little more time)
[Instrumental Bridge]
It's getting closer (Closer, every day, don't cry, we'll be okay)
Ooh, it's getting closer (Closer, wall of the dam, hold on and breathe if you can)
It's getting closer (Closer; I'm not ready)
Ooh, it's getting closer (Closer; breathe if you can; I need a little more time)
It's getting closer (Closer; I'm not ready)
It's getting closer (Closer; I need a little more time)
[Outro]
It's getting closer
Ooh, it's getting closer
About
Much like album opener, “Let It Happen,” “The Moment” focuses on going with the flow and living mindfully, but with the added element of learning to be impulsive and make crucial decisions when the time is right.
On Currents, this track delivers a jolt of positivity after the trip-addled existential dread of “Nangs,” mirroring how one must continue onward despite periods of doubt.
Kevin Parker once said:
‘The Moment’ is the song that I most closely associate with the old Coogee Power Station. There are parts of the song that, when I listen to now, I’m right back there. The synth-guitar breakdown was directly inspired by standing at its base, looking up at it.
