I'm writing a song for you
I'm writing a song for you
Two thousand eighty-two
Two thousand eighty-two
I'm thinking 'bout you
Thinking I'm looking forward to when you get here
Forward to when you live here
I can love you like I can't love me
I can love you like I can't love me
You're so far away in the future
Livin' so far away in the future
Can you hear me?
Will you hear me?
Maybe, just maybe
My music will last on past when I'm gone away
Maybe, baby
Don't forget to laugh, don't forget to laugh
Even though it might be hot where you are
We might've burned up
Might've melted the sky
But the stars would be closer
Yeah, the stars would be closer
You could wear a bodysuit
To keep out the ultraviolet rays
Everything's a carcinogen
Everything's a carcinogen, darlin', but
I can love you like I can't love me
I can love you like I can't love me
I can love you like I can't love me
I can love you like I can't love me
I can love you like I can't love me
I can love you like I can't love me
You're so far away in the future
Livin' so far away in the future
Can you feel me?
Will you feel me?
Maybe, just maybe
The trees that we planted will have lasted
And maybe, baby
You'll be climbing and laughing
Please laugh
Even though your food is a ghost of the past
We bred the flavor out in favor of shelf life and size
They say you eat with your eyes
Yeah, you eat with your eyes
You could carry a vial of salt
Salt is a flavor enhancer
But it's not a re-substancer
It can't resurrect romance, but darlin'
I can love you like I can't love me
I can love you like I can't love me
You're so far away in the future
Livin' so far away in the future
Do you remember when we used to
Go outside for somethin' to do
In 1992
Kid smokin' after school
Joker bendin' the rules
There was a war going on in the neighborhood
Boys against girls in the neighborhood
I can love you like I can't love me
I can love you like I can't love me
You're so far away from the future
Livin' so far away from the future
I can love you like I can't love me
I can love you like I can't love me
I can love you like I can't love me
I can love you like I can't love me
I can love you like I can't love me (I can love you)
I can love you like I can't love me
(I can love you like I can't love me)
I can love you like I can't love me (I can love you)
I can love you like I can't love me
(I can love you like I can't love me)
I can love you like I can't love me (I can love you)
I can love you like I can't love me
(I can love you like I can't love me)
I can love you like I can't love me (I can love you)
I can love you like I can't love me
(I can love you like I can't love me)
I can love you like I can't love me (I can love you)
I can love you like I can't love me
(I can love you like I can't love me)
I can love you like I can't love me (I can love you)
I can love you like I can't love me
(I can love you like I can't love me)
I can love you like I can't love me (I can love you)
I can love you like I can't love me
(I can love you like I can't love me)
I can love you like I can't love me (I can love you)
I can love you like I can't love me
(I can love you like I can't love me)
I can love you like I can't love me (I can love you)
I can love you like I can't love me
(I can love you like I can't love me)
I can love you like I can't love me (I can love you)
I can love you like I can't love me
