lyrics

If I found a crystal ball would you ask it what the future holds
remember the moral of the story, be careful of what you’re wishing for
and there’s a light up ahead but we closed our eyes to soon
are you letting go or are you holding on too tight

no it doesn’t take a scientist to work out it’s too late
your belly aches, a fire that burns and it is emanating
perspectives changed, the colour drained out of the frame

the future is unclear, it’s cold and calculating
you live in constant fear but death approaches all the same
you keep your distance from me
cause I’m saying things that I don’t mean
and you don’t really need to hear

would I like to live the rest of my life looking over my shoulder
staring back at the things I wish I hadn’t left behind
somewhere there’s a version of me living my life as I should have been
running parallel to this one, running parallel to this one

no it doesn’t take a scientist to work out it’s too late
your belly aches, a fire that burns and it is emanating
perspectives changed, the colour drained out of the frame

the future is unclear, it’s cold and calculating
you live in constant fear but death approaches all the same
you keep your distance from me
cause I’m saying things that I don’t mean
and you don’t really need to hear

this is a call and a response to things we’ll never send
the future stays here on a fairground ride that never ever ends

This is what happened s when you lose somebody you love
you end up lonely and you end up sorry
Raise my hands to the lord
I’ll bring this house down now
I’ve seen so many come and go
I’ve seen so many come and go

the future is unclear, it’s cold and calculating
you live in constant fear but death approaches all the same
you keep your distance from me
cause I’m saying things that I don’t mean
and you don’t really need to hear
