You never know
Shapeshifters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You never know
You never know

Tomorrow's man tells
Today's lies
Yesterday's forgotten
The tears have all been dried
The promises you've not fulfilled

Might be too late
When tomorrow's here

You never know
Can't take this for granted, no
You don't control
Might be the last time you close your eyes
You never know
Don't have to deal with the cards your handed
We don't know
Why let life pass you by?

You never know
What will come tomorrow
You don't control
The effect and consequence
You never know
What will come tomorrow
We don't know so stop throwing your time away.

Another man says
He'll make it right
Talks of change tomorrow
His actions out of time
I've seen the plans, they're empty inside
It's all just smoke and mirrors
The truth can't help but hide

You never know
What the suns have planned here
You don't control
Might be the last time we kiss goodnight
You never know
How we fix all the things he's damaged
We don't know
I don't know

You never know
What will come tomorrow
You don't control
The effect and consequence
You never know
What will come tomorrow
We don't know so stop throwing your time away.

Don't wait for tomorrow
Don't wait for tomorrow

You never know
Can't take this for granted, no
You don't control
Might be the last time you close your eyes
You never know
Don't have to deal with the cards your handed
We don't know
I don't know

You never know
What will come tomorrow
You don't control
The effect and consequence
You never know
What will come tomorrow
We don't know so stop throwing your time away.

You never know
What will come tomorrow
We don't control
The effect and consequence
You never know




What will come tomorrow
We don't know so stop throwing your time away.

Live support on the free version of Virtual DJ recommended this. I actually like it too.
That's what's up. There's still an infinite amount of Good In People too.
