I know you're drifting back into your head

To how she kept her books beside your bed

And kissed you slowly through the afternoon

But that was back when she adored you

I’ve seen the purple mountain’s majesty

Witnessed a lover turn away from me

Felt the cold clasp of winter

Yet still the moon it shines without her

You found love but now you’re on your own

You want it to be futureproof

You can save a picture on your phone

But you can’t save your fleeting youth

Futureproof

Futureproof

The road is sprawling out in front of you

You wanna do just what you wanna do

So rip a page from Kerouac

And make a promise not to circle back

You found love but now you’re on your own

You want it to be futureproof

You can save a picture on your phone

But you can’t save your fleeting youth

Futureproof

Futureproof

Oh no you’re holding onto something

That wasn’t what you thought it was

Over it’s over now

Futureproof

Futureproof

Well, it’s a sorry sight when the one you love

Is looking back at you from the arms of another

And oh sure, you’re happy for her

But it’s not what you wanted, it’s not what you wanted

Pining it tends to wreck you

Timbers scatter as your hull shatters

And you feel like an inconvenience

Something don’t quite belong in this sequence

Your world is torn apart

And the room is spinning faster

Should’ve seen it from the start

But there is no going backwards

It was months ago you lost her

Shoulda been phoning her up, but you were thinking it over

No sense in waiting around

So get over yourself and your boring feelings

Something don’t quite belong in this sequence

Your world is torn apart

And the room is spinning faster

Should’ve seen it from the start

But there is no going backwards

And from the caverns

To the shore

Run around in circles

Forevermore

'Cause she was the light above the candle

You’re sometimes dealt more than you can handle

So face it, it’s never gonna happen

And all you know don’t matter if you don’t believe it

Your world is torn apart

And the room is spinning faster

Should’ve seen it from the start

But there is no going backwards

Your world is torn apart

And the room is spinning faster

Should’ve seen it from the start

But there is no going backwards

Sure it’s a calming notion, perpetual in motion

But I don’t need the comfort of any lies

For I have seen the ending and there is no ascending rise

Back when I was younger, was told by other youngsters

That my end will be torture beneath the earth

‘cuz I don’t see what they see when death is staring at me

I see a window, a limit, to live it, or not at all

If you could pull the lever to carry on forever

Would your life even matter anymore?

Sure it’s a calming notion, perpetual in motion

But it’s not what you signed up for

I’m sure there won’t always be sunshine

But there’s this momentary beam of light

You don’t have to wait those salty decades

To get through the gate it’s all in front of your face

I’m sure there won’t always be sunshine

I’m sure there won’t always be sunshine

But there’s this momentary beam of light

I could cross the ocean in a fit of devotion

For every shining second this fragile body beckons

You think you’re owed it better believing ancient letters

Sure it’s a calming notion but it’s a lie
