Stuff and Nonsense by Missy Higgins

It's really simple, but even more beautiful because of that.
However, I do have mixed feelings about the lyrics:
Disobey my own decisions
I deserve all your suspicions
First it's yes and then it's no
I dilly dally down to duo
But I've got no secrets that I babble in my sleep
I won't make promises to you that I can't keep
And you know that I love you
Here and now not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense
I once lived for the future
Every day was one day closer
Greener on the other side
Yes I believed before I met you
But I soon learned your love burned brighter than the stars in my eyes
Now I know how and when, I know where and why
And you know that I love you
Here and now not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense
Being LDS, I know lots of people who might argue FOR looking to the future, and falling in love for eternity, etc. So some people might not find that very romantic.
Regardless, I think it's still pretty sweet. I feel like it really reinforces living in the moment, which is very easily forgotten nowadays.
It's like she's saying, I don't know about anything that's going to happen from here on out, but I do know that here and now, I love you.
That, is just beautiful.
I like it! I think it is important to not always be looking for the next step in a relationship. A first date doesn't always have to lead to dating, and a first kiss doesn't mean you are looking for wedding rings. So much can be gained from just taking a relationship one moment at a time.
