Future
Vanilla Sky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I believe in our future
I believe I'll make it on my own
Didn't factor in the consequences or the cause
Cause I know that it will work out
And I know that it will turn out fine
I think sometimes that we must let it work out on its own

Even though I'm just a human I'm still listening
To every message that was sent me from inside the wind

I believe in our future
I believe in something I don't know
There's always something that
We're never meant to understand
I just hope that it will work out
I just hope that it will turn out fine
I know sometimes we have to leave everything behind





And I know I'm just a human that will sail away
So I'm living all the pieces of eternity
