Future
Khalil Ft. Kehlani & Justin Bieber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, baby, we'll see what the future holds for us, oh no
When it's raining, it's pouring, how do I always end up the enemy?
How do I wake up in the morning? You're not right next to me
How could we throw it all away?
Guess I'll move on to better days
See what the future holds
Maybe yes, next time, what if there's no next time?
I don't know what the future knows
Future, future
Is it that bad? Is it that bad?
Future, future
Live this moment, we'll enjoy it
When our love has been broken, we can barely even speak
One minute we're soaring, the next we're knocked right up our feet
How did we throw it all away?
Guess we'll move on to better days, yeah
Maybe there's a future, such a great future
See what the future holds
Maybe yes, next time, what if there's no next time?
I don't know what the future knows
Maybe there's a future, such a great future
See what the future holds, don't know what the future knows
Maybe yes, next time, what if there's no next time?
I don't know what the future knows
Future, future
Is it that bad? Is it that bad?
Future, future
Live this moment, we'll enjoy it.
