Remember the Future

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's opening night, you're pacing, you're nervous Your tie's hanging crooked, I did it on purpose The cast makes a circle, it's magic, it's Christmas Your face in my hands, babe, "Look around, you did this" [Pre-Chorus 1] The crowd's going wild, why wouldn't they be? When you get off stage, you're just looking at me We go home for the night, half drunk with relief You say all that it took was love and belief [Chorus] Do you ever remember the future? What might've been if you were sorry sooner 'Cause I moved on and you moved on but we both know it's true Baby, I am the best thing that won't ever happen to you [Verse 2] Saturday morning, you take off your glasses It's raining, you're lost in my linen pajamas Mambo on the needle, straight out of Havana You're painting, I'm making us bread out of browning bananas [Pre-Chorus 2] I almost start crying, it makes you stop singing You ask me what happened, I'm beaming as I put your Hand on my stomach, I hitch in my breathing "I made a new friend, and I want you to meet him" [Chorus] Do you ever remember the future? What might've been if you were sorry sooner 'Cause I moved on and you moved on but we both know it's true Baby, I am the best thing that won't ever happen to you [Outro] It's opening night, you're pacing, you're nervous You keep telling yourself, "I made it, I did this" You reach for a necktie, and that's when you feel it Nostalgia for something that never existed
