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
