The future

the future

Lyrics

this year we'll cook for each other
and we'll lower the lights of our glowing computers 

and write our lives like a story
and we string our hearts for a beautiful melody 

and next year we'll be slightly more resolute
and the words that we speak will ring slightly more true

our earth it turns in a circle
and our bodies they drink in this cloudy water 
the the clouds precess in their orbit
and the dress you'll wear for now is a secret

sure the future is a secret that keeps spilling the beans
i think the part i'll like best are about to begin

Songwriter Notes

Didn't end up working on this as much as i hoped. This version is pretty similar to the initial demo

Possible alternate lyrics

The clouds they rain from the height of their orbit
The clouds they precess in their orbits
The future is a secret i can guess how it ends
The future is a secret that keeps spilling the beans
