Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mirror, mirror, on the wall
How do I get through it all?
How do I get through the heartbreak?
The crystal ball told us so
That someday love would find a home
But when I'm with you,  someday doesn't
Seem so far away, No
Is it hopeless being a romantic?
'Cause I'm so hopeless dreaming
'bout your smile

If I was a palm reader baby, then I would
I could tell you your future
I'd say you were strong
Would live a good life
And one day, you might find a wife
But I'm not a palm reader
But I know I'm your future

Babe, if I play my cards right
Would you come home with me tonight?
'Cause I don't ever want to say goodbyΠ΅
We're all dealt a diffΠ΅rent hand
We get along the best we can
With what this life has to offer us

Is it hopeless being a romantic?
'Cause I'm so hopeless dreaming

And one day, you might find a wife
But I'm not a palm reader
But I know I'm your future

And I know it's written in the stars
It's written on my heart
Permanent, permanently

If I was a palm reader baby, then I would
I could tell you your future
I'd say you were strong
Would live a good life
And one day, you might find a wife
But I'm not a palm reader

Oh, I know I'm your future, oh, woah
I know I'm your future
