Future me

Verse 1

I saw you standing in the mirror’s haze

Lines on your face, but your eyes the same

You whispered softly through the glass of time

(“Did you follow the fire that once was mine?”)

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been chasing shadows, running blind

Trying not to lose the spark inside

Chorus

Future me, can you hear me call?

Did I rise again each time I’d fall?

Are my broken dreams still haunting you,

Or did you learn to make them true?

Verse 2

You carry stories I can’t yet know

Scars that show me where not to go

But I wonder, do you still believe

In the wild young heart that beats in me?

Pre-Chorus

Every step I take is carving lines

Into the book you’ll read in time

Chorus

Future me, are you proud or tired?

Did I burn too fast, or keep the fire?

Do you recognize the boy you see,

Or is he just a memory?

Bridge

If you could send a message back

Would it be a warning or a map?

Or would you simply smile and say,

(“Don’t be afraid, you’ll find the way.”)

Chorus

Future me, I’m reaching through

The years between my soul and you

Hold my hand across the years of night

And tell me I will turn out right
