Momentum - Aimee Mann

Oh, for the sake of momentum

I’ve allowed my fears to get larger than life

And it’s brought me to my current agendum

Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive

And I know life is getting shorter

I can’t bring myself to set the scene

Even when it’s approaching torture

I’ve got my routine

Oh, for the sake of momentum

Even though I agree with that stuff about seizing the day

But I hate to think of effort expended

All those minutes and days and hours

I have frittered away

And I know life is getting shorter

I can’t bring myself to set the scene

Even when it’s approaching torture

I’ve got my routine

But I can’t confront the doubts I have

I can’t admit that maybe the past was bad

And so, for the sake of momentum

I’m condemning the future to death

So it can match the past
