Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 withβyou, βsomedayβdoesn't
Seem soβfar away, No
'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
'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
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
But I know I'm your future
Oh, I know I'm your future, oh, woah
I know I'm your future

They express a whimsical desire to be a palm reader, able to predict the future and assure the person they love that they will have strength and a good life. The line "But I'm not a palm reader / But I know I'm your future" reveals their belief in their own importance and role in their loved one's life.
