Lyrics for "Future Self"

Believe me this is not how I planned it to be
My future self and me don’t see eye to eye on things

There is a man that I could be
He’s the sum of all my failed ambitions
With any luck he’ll soon rest in peace

Since the first we met
He’s made it clear to see
That I’ll be the death of him and he’ll be the death of me

So where’s the song I sing
It’s out of sight, out of reach someplace we can’t see
So where’s the life I seek
I don’t know, we’ll cross that bridge eventually

You think I don’t know where you came from
When in fact I do
It’s just the history I’m causing the emotions that I’m feeling
In this conversation between me and you

So where’s my melody
It’s out of sight, out of reach someplace we can’t see
So where is my peace of mind
It’s gone away so sad to say for the rest of my life

I’ve walked with him side by side through my dreams
And seen the broken empty life that he leads
So who’s to blame cause in the end we’re both the same
My fucked up future self and me

I’ll remember the days that I played on stage
I was young I had plans and I was more of a man
Than the burnt out potential failure version of my future self

And when I think of giving up
All the problems in life finally had enough well
I guess I must say I’m impressed with my future self

Cause I’m gone I won’t ever come back

Believe me it’s not like I wanted it to be this way
My future self and me don’t see eye to eye on things

Cause when I’m gone
I’ll remember you if you remember me
Till we both moved on
Till we rest in peace saying

Do you remember when you could have saved me
The chance was yours there for the taking
Would I have listened even if you tried?
I’ll forever wonder till the day I die so

Please bury me by the sea with
An epitaph that reads that
He lived a life which none of you
Should ever try to lead because

We only get one chance
One life to be
I won’t let my future self get the best of me

So Imma pick up the rhythm
Bring back the rhyme
I swear that no one else is coming up this time
Because I’ve said it once before and I’ll say it again
I’ve been down this road a thousand times and seen every bend

So these are the days that I play on stage
I am young I have plans and I am more of a man
Than the burnt out potential failure version of my future self
And when I think of giving up
All the problems in life and how far I’ve come well
There ain’t no way I’m giving up just yet
