Future Me
Echosmith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The future me I haven't met
There's some things you might regret
Like giving up on love too fast
Chasing shadows from your past
Future me I haven't met

There's gonna be some pain
It's good to feel something

Right now, I'm already who I wanna be tomorrow
Who I wanna be tomorrow is who I am
Right now, I'm already who I wanna be tomorrow
Who I wanna be tomorrow is who I am

Right now
Right now

They don't know you like I do
They don't know what you've been through
They're hands up black and blue
For never letting go of you
They don't know you like I do

There's gonna be some pain
It's good to feel something

Right now, I'm already who I wanna be tomorrow
Who I wanna be tomorrow is who I am
Right now, I'm already who I wanna be tomorrow
Who I wanna be tomorrow is who I am

Right now
Right now
Right now

I'm already who I wanna be tomorrow
Who I wanna be tomorrow

Right now, I'm already who I wanna be tomorrow
Who I wanna be tomorrow is who I am
Right now, I'm already who I wanna be tomorrow
Who I wanna be tomorrow is who I am

Right now
What are you waiting for?
Right now
What are you waiting for?
Right now
What are you waiting for?
Right now




What are you waiting for?
Right now

Overall Meaning

The song "Future Me" by Echosmith is a powerful reflection on the journey of self-discovery and the importance of staying true to oneself. The lyrics describe the future self that the singer has not yet met, and the potential regrets they may have if they give up on love too quickly and continue to chase the shadows of their past. The song encourages the listener to embrace the pain that comes with growth and self-discovery, and to recognize that the person they want to be tomorrow is already within themselves today.


The song's verses describe the doubts and fears that the singer has about their future self, but the chorus brings a sense of confidence and empowerment, as if the singer has already found the answers they were searching for. The repetition of the phrase "Right now, I'm already who I wanna be tomorrow" emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment and being true to oneself, rather than constantly striving for an idealized future self. The final lines, "What are you waiting for? Right now," challenge the listener to take action and start living as their true selves in the present moment.


Overall, "Future Me" is a song that speaks to the universal experience of self-discovery and the journey towards becoming the person we want to be. Its uplifting message and catchy melody make it a standout track on Echosmith's album "Inside a Dream."
