The Future Songtext

The Future Songtext
If you woke up ten years later
In the bed that you′re sleeping in,
Would you be content,
If you woke up ten years later
With the one that you're laying with,
Would you have regrets,
And I know that you see the future
But I can′t seem to hold it back long enough
I want to make more than just memories,
But time keeps, holding them back from me,
If we'd never met one another
Would you ever stop and wonder
What might have been,
Yeah,
And If you could start all over,
Would you pick me again,
In the end,
And I know that you see the future
But I can't seem to hold it back long enough
I want to make more than just memories,
But time keeps, holding them back from me,
On and on we′re going
Every now and then we′re thrown in
From the edge of the deep end
The water is fine
On and on we're going,
Every now and then we′re thrown in
From the edge of the deep end
The water is fine
You don't have to think so far ahead
The best promises go unsaid
And the best things in your life
Happen accidentally
I don′t mean to be so far behind
Last one across the finish line
But the first to realize
The end justifies the means
And I know that you see the future
But I can't seem to hold it back long enough
I want to make more than just memories,
But time keeps, holding them back from me
And I know that you see the future
But I can′t seem to hold it back long enough
I want to make more than just memories,
But time keeps, holding them back from me
On and on we're going,
Every now and then we're thrown in
From the edge of the deep end
The water is fine
On and on we′re going,
Every now and then we′re thrown in
From the edge of the deep end
The water is fine
On and on
On and on
On and on
On and on
In the bed that you′re sleeping in,
Would you be content,
If you woke up ten years later
With the one that you're laying with,
Would you have regrets,
And I know that you see the future
But I can′t seem to hold it back long enough
I want to make more than just memories,
But time keeps, holding them back from me,
If we'd never met one another
Would you ever stop and wonder
What might have been,
Yeah,
And If you could start all over,
Would you pick me again,
In the end,
And I know that you see the future
But I can't seem to hold it back long enough
I want to make more than just memories,
But time keeps, holding them back from me,
On and on we′re going
Every now and then we′re thrown in
From the edge of the deep end
The water is fine
On and on we're going,
Every now and then we′re thrown in
From the edge of the deep end
The water is fine
You don't have to think so far ahead
The best promises go unsaid
And the best things in your life
Happen accidentally
I don′t mean to be so far behind
Last one across the finish line
But the first to realize
The end justifies the means
And I know that you see the future
But I can't seem to hold it back long enough
I want to make more than just memories,
But time keeps, holding them back from me
And I know that you see the future
But I can′t seem to hold it back long enough
I want to make more than just memories,
But time keeps, holding them back from me
On and on we're going,
Every now and then we're thrown in
From the edge of the deep end
The water is fine
On and on we′re going,
Every now and then we′re thrown in
From the edge of the deep end
The water is fine
On and on
On and on
On and on
On and on
