The Future
Bryan-Michael Cox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And some quick sand rising to my knees
I'm breakin every room
And attain everything what we said
When we started out
And in church were praying
Cupid straight sprayin'
I don't need no medicine
All I really need is a touch from you
Girl I do see my future
When I look into your eyes
I see my future
I see my future
When I look into your eyes
I see my future
I see my future
I see my future
I see my future with you
I see my future
I see my future with you
I see me and you across the border
And the lights go on the water
Revealin' just for me
But with the drama that's been poppin' us
It would be a shame not to roll this
That fat lady ain't singin'
That news dollar ain't hangin
See she wanna take us back to the beginning
Another day was alright
We couldn't stand the fight
I just want you here with me
Please don't take away my future
When I look into your eyes
I see my future
I see my future
When I look into your eyes
I see my future
I see my future
I see my future
I see my future with you
I see my future
I see my future with you
You can catch me
Every day dreaming you
Any word that would be involved
Baby I wanna be more involved with you
And baby you're my future
When I look into your eyes
I see my future
I see my future
When I look into your eyes
I see my future
I see my future
I see my future
I see my future with you
I see my future
I see my future with you

I feel like I'm penetrating water
I feel like I'm diving deep into something unknown and unpredictable
And some quick sand rising to my knees
But at the same time, I feel like I'm getting trapped into something dangerous and unstable
I'm breakin every room
Even though I'm struggling and everything around me seems to be falling apart, I'm still moving forward
And attain everything what we said
I'm determined to achieve all my goals and fulfill all the promises I made to you
When we started out
Ever since the beginning of our relationship
And in church were praying
Despite the challenges, we're still hopeful and faithful
Cupid straight sprayin'
We're trying to keep love alive and keep our hearts open
And I took my 5 shots in the heart
Even though I've been hurt before, I'm still willing to take risks for love
I don't need no medicine
I don't need anything else to make me feel better
All I really need is a touch from you
All I really need is your love and affection
Girl I do see my future
I can see a bright and promising future ahead of us
When I look into your eyes
Whenever I see you and feel your presence
I see my future
I see all the possibilities and opportunities that we can share together
I see me and you across the border
I can even envision us exploring new places and trying new things together
And the lights go on the water
Everything seems magical and beautiful when we're together
Revealin' just for me
It's like everything in the world was meant for us to enjoy together
But with the drama that's been poppin' us
Despite all the obstacles and challenges we've faced
It would be a shame not to roll this
It would be a waste to give up on what we have and not take advantage of this love we share
That fat lady ain't singin'
Even though it may seem like the end is near, it's not over yet
That news dollar ain't hangin
We can still make things work and overcome our problems
See she wanna take us back to the beginning
Let's not let our problems bring us back to the start
Another day was alright
Even though some days have been tough
We couldn't stand the fight
We couldn't handle the pressure and strain that our relationship faced
I just want you here with me
But at the end of the day, I just want you by my side
Please don't take away my future
Our love is worth holding onto and fighting for
You can catch me
I'm constantly thinking about you
Every day dreaming you
I can't stop dreaming and fantasizing about our life together
Any word that would be involved
Anything that involves you or us together
Baby I wanna be more involved with you
I want to be more connected and close to you
And baby you're my future
Because you're the one I see my life with and my future with

"All of a sudden, my vision became so clear.
Everything I needed was right here,
Before me (before me)
So pressed to let you know
Just how you make me feel
Never had a feeling thats so real
Control me (and i'm ready, girl I'm ready)
Don't wanna play no games,
I want you exclusive,
Baby, we should just do this,
with the feeling's so strong"
