Futures

Wind on the cool, grey water

Voices way back on the lawn

Need to change that filter

Where do those leaves blow from?

Clothes in a pile by the Pool House

Watch in a glass by your shoes

Like I'm swimmin' in seltzer

Divin' into the blue

You never mentioned leavin'

Just been up there speakin' with your boy

A little place near Morro

Starin' at the sea

But I'm still tryna stop your shadow slippin' down the hallway

Like a train that I can't catch

Left me sittin' here, the same as always

I always think too much

Waitin' to run till the rain comes down

Never get home if you don't strike out

I've loved you like you'll never know

Where do all those futures go?

As long as this snow keeps fallin'

I'm in no rush to get back

Sit and find my own tempo

'Cause this city never wakes up

Tryna keep warm in this raincoat

Couple of books in my bag

Threw a coin in the fountain

Still listenin' out for the splash

I never saw you leavin'

But I know you'll have some good years with your boy

Up on your own near Morro

Starin' at the sea

But I'm still tryna stop your shadow slippin' down the hallway

Like a train that I can't catch

Left me sittin' here, the same as always

I always think too much

Waitin' to run till the rain comes down

Never get home if you don't strike out

I've loved you like you'll never know

Where do all those futures go?

Waitin' to run till the rain comes down

You never get home if you don't strike out

I've loved you like you'll never know

Where do all those futures go?
