The Future Forgot My Address

Verse 1

I keep planning days that never arrive

Like I am practicing being alive

Every calendar page looks the same

Like time erased my name

They ask me what I want to become

I just smile and change the tone

I had a map in my pocket once

Now I just call wherever I land home

Pre-Chorus

I am not lost on the highway

I am lost in the plan

Chorus

The future forgot my address

Like I never left a trace

I keep sending out hope like mail

But it comes back marked erased

I don’t feel behind or broken

I just feel misaligned

The future forgot my address

But it still lives in my mind

Verse 2

I see kids with dreams in their eyes

Talking like the world is wide

I don’t correct them I just nod

Like I don’t know what I lost

Every promise I made to myself

Still rings with a hollow sound

I am not running from tomorrow

Tomorrow just stopped coming around

Pre-Chorus

I am not afraid of the dark

I am afraid of the wait

Chorus

The future forgot my address

Like it closed its doors on me

I keep building empty tomorrows

That never agree

I don’t need a miracle

I need a sign

The future forgot my address

But it still lives in my mind

Bridge

If destiny is just another word

For stories we don’t get to keep

Then I will start writing margins

Where the endings used to be

Final Chorus

The future forgot my address

But I am still standing here

I am not waiting for rescue

I am learning how to steer

If there is still a door somewhere

Then I will find the sign

The future forgot my address

But it still lives in my mind
