Lyrics

[Verse 1] In a recent future this has passed It may not seem that way because You're in the middle looking out There is no will be there's just was What is past is brightly colored Sharply drawn and clear The future's sketchy Though it's close it's never here [Verse 2] In a recent future you and I Had found some means of speaking About the things we never said And all the things we're seeking The future isn't what it was And it seems the distance Will just keep getting widеr With or without assistance [Instrumental] [Verse 3] In a recent futurе what is now Somehow becomes before As though we're always rushing through Some huge revolving door For the present what will be Will be here ever after May that bring joy for you May that bring laughter [Verse 4] In a recent future this has passed It may not seem that way because You're in the middle looking out There is no will be there's just was What is past is brightly colored Sharply drawn and clear The future's sketchy Though it's close it's never here [Outro] In a recent future this has passed In a recent future what is now In a recent future You and I In a recent future what is now In a recent future You and I In a recent future what is now In a recent future You and I In a recent future what is now In a recent future You and I In a recent future what is now In a recent future You and I What is now
