Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Check, check, what's next? List in my head
I could give it a rest, but what's a girl to expect?
It's been two years, I'm at my best
Check, check, what's next?
[Verse 2]
No notes, no qualms, line through my palm
Reads that I've done it wrong
But now you're all that I want
Let's do it right
Move this along
No notes, no
Here I go
[Chorus]
Future tripping
The silver clock on my wrist is
Only ticking
Woe is me, what-iffing
I wish it was romantic, all the things we don't know
But it has me pushing panicked, are we taking it slow?
'Cause now the future's inching
And I can't stop thinking 'bout it
[Verse 3]
All best laid plans, I understand, are still out of our hands
And only hourglass sand
You say I'm it, I say, "Expand"
Would chill, but
Can't
[Chorus]
Future tripping (Future)
The silver clock on my wrist is
Only ticking (Only ticking)
Woe is me, what-iffing
I wish it was romantic, all the things we don't know
But it has me pushing panicked, are we taking it slow?
'Cause now the future's inching (Future's inching)
And I can't stop thinking 'bout it
And I'm just tryin' to get my head around it
Future tripping, tripping, tripping
[Bridge]
I don't wanna control it
I just wanna know it
How it's gonna go, yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't wanna impose
Some things we're not supposed to know yet
But my head won't stop, my head won't stop
[Chorus]
Future tripping (Future tripping)
If I blink, will I miss it?
I'm death gripping (I'm death gripping)
So, crystal ball, what's the vision?
I wish it was romantic, all the things we don't know (All the things we don't know)
But it has me pushing panicked, are we taking it slow?
'Cause now the future's inching (Future's, yeah)
And I can't stop thinking 'bout it (Can't stop thinking 'bout it, future tripping)
And I'm just tryin' to get my head around it (I could give it a rest, tripping)
[Outro]
No, I can't stop thinking 'bout it
Tripping, tripping, tripping
