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
