Future Translates

Verse 1

Woke up in a language that I never learned

The sky was a color with no name

I tried to write a letter that the wind would carry

Every word came out the same

Pre-Chorus

Maybe time is just a ribbon

Maybe all the roads dissolve

Running toward a morning

That hasn't arrived at all

Chorus

Future translates in fragments

Future translates slow

Every version of tomorrow

Keeps the version that I know

Verse 2

Found a photograph of someone wearing my face

Standing where the old house used to be

The garden's full of flowers that are not yet blooming

And the fence is a memory

Pre-Chorus

Maybe waiting is a river

Maybe all the banks are wide

I keep wading toward a current

That's been pulling me aside

Chorus

Future translates in fragments

Future translates slow

Every version of tomorrow

Keeps the version that I know

Bridge

I whisper to the static

I whisper to the stone

If I let the present crumble

Will I ever make it home

Chorus

Future translates in fragments

Future translates slow

Every version of tomorrow

Keeps the version that I know

Outro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Future translates

Mm

Slow
