Lyrics
Future
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't think that I like the state I'm in
I don't think that I wanted this feeling
But I'm gettin' so lost in the feeling, so low
And I'm cuttin' off all the parts of me
That remind me of the things that I used to be
They remind me of the things that we used to see, oh, oh-oh
Your smooth touch gone
All my memories verloren
Fall deep inside me
Can't let this be
It's all over (It's all over)
It's all over
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future
It's all over
It's all over
I thought that you and mе were the futurе
I thought that you and me were the future
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future
I woke up on your side of the bed again
Couldn't tell if I was dead or just wavering
Felt my chest, there was somethin' still beatin' slow
And I feel like I'm still livin' a fantasy
In my head, you're still lying there next to me
Comin' closer to the place what we used to call home
Your smooth touch gone
All my memories verloren
It's all over
It's all over
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future
It's all over
It's all over
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future
And I picture all that would have been
My thoughts run wild with a dream of what could have been
Lost yourself in a maze with the words of what should have been said
And I keep goin' back, I keep goin' back, I keep goin' back
It's all over
It's all over
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future
It's all over
It's all over
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future
