Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I did a thing last night

You know those future games

Turned off all the lights

Oh, the future came

You were by my side

Will you explain?

[Refrain]

Oh yeah

Real rhyme or reason for those future games

[Verse 2]

Now you were there last night

And oh, were you afraid

Of things we'd come upon

While playin' future games

But baby, it's alright

And so, have faith

[Refrain]

Oh yeah

You invent the future that you want to face

[Chorus]

How many people sit home at night

Wonderin' if they still will be here tonight?

Wonderin' if children they bring to the light

Inherit the world or inherit the night

Wonderin' if neighbors are thinking the same

All of the wild things tomorrow will tame

Talkin' of journeys that happen in vain

Well, I know I'm not the only one

To ever spend my life sittin', playing future games

[Verse 3]

So you, you better take your time

You know there's no escape

The future sends a sign

Of things we will create

Baby, it's alright

And so, have faith

[Refrain]

Oh yeah

You invent the future that you want to face

[Chorus]

How many people sit home at night

Wonderin' if this day will be here tonight?

Wonderin' if children they bring to the light

Inherit the world or inherit the night?

Wonderin' if neighbors are thinking the same

All of the wild things tomorrow will tame

Talking of journeys that happen in vain

Well, I know I'm not the only one

To ever spend my life sittin' playing future games

[Bridge]

[Outro]

I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one
