Future
Nathan Smart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I spend my youth on the risks I take
I either win or give it all away
I'm taking a bullet, and shooting it now
Mess in the back seat, killing the crowd
Is it real or is it in my head
A myth a fantasy I won't transcend
I can be crazy, blue in the eyes
Get me a jacket, I'm Outta my mind
 
Could it be for nothing in the end
Am I chasing the wind, Is it all pretend
Living life terrified's never been a friend
No no no
 
It could burn and break
Never gonna take our gold
They can play it safe
I ain't ever going home
Let's make the future
Let's make the future
Let's make the future
Let's make the future

I feel the moonlight, I'm loosing track of days
Don't get the time zones, or traffic in L.A
You could've been with me, taking me down
Cutting the black tape, don't make a sound

Could it be for nothing in the end
Am I chasing the wind, Is it all pretend
Living life terrified's never been a friend
No no no
 
It could burn and break
Never gonna take our gold
They can play it safe
I ain't ever going home
Let's make the future
Let's make the future
Let's make the future
Let's make the future

It's all up to me in the end
The future is here in my hands
 
It could burn and break
Never gonna take our gold
They can play it safe
I ain't ever going home
Let's make the future
Let's make the future




Let's make the future
Let's make the future
