Future lover, don't waste your time on me.
Two chapters a day keeps this madness awake.
I was down but not out,
And I felt really small.
I did what I had to do,
Now all that's left is the silhouette of you.
My thoughts are as heavy as your footsteps going out the door.
(?) I tell you now as I've told you before.
I don't know if I dreamed of you all night,
Or if you're just the first thing on my mind
As I wake up in the cold dark night.
I like to dream of love,
But lately I'm falling in love with dreaming.
The golden stripes in her shirt were not real,
The words she said were not true.
This bed that we share could not burn with more truth.
Future lover, say you'll trust me,
I will still try and steal the world,
And leave you with nothing to hold besides an empty soul.
I keep my suffering away from my heart,
Locked in a box, surrounded by dark.
I need to open up to truly see
What life I can lead, and where I want to be.
Please look out here, a ship in the clear,
With a captain who speaks mostly sincere.
He speaks a life in love, like a point on the map,
We'll say I wanna go here, let's go here.
I don't know if I dreamed of you all night,
Or if you're just the first thing on my mind
As I wake up in the cold dark night.
Future lover don't waste your time on me.
