Future Right
Fastbacks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the days since I've been home I've seen the past
Come to life
Since I have arrived I've tried to set the future right
I woke up with a cloud above my head

And hands and feet
A dark cloud in my bedroom raining down
All over me
Unsuccessful effortless and trying




Ordinary only uninspiring
