Remember the Future
It's opening night, you're pacing, you're nervous
Your tie's hanging crooked, I did it on purpose
The cast makes a circle, it's magic, it's Christmas
Your face in my hands, babe, "Look around, you did this"
The crowd's going wild, why wouldn't they be?
When you get off stage, you're just looking at me
We go home for the night, half drunk with relief
You say all that it took was love and belief
Do you ever remember the future?
What might've been if you were sorry sooner
'Cause I moved on and you moved on but we both know it's true
Baby, I am the best thing that won't ever happen to you
Saturday morning, you take off your glasses
It's raining, you're lost in my linen pajamas
Mambo on the needle, straight out of Havana
You're painting, I'm making us bread out of browning bananas
I almost start crying, it makes you stop singing
You ask me what happened, I'm beaming as I put your
Hand on my stomach, I hitch in my breathing
"I made a new friend, and I want you to meet him"
Do you ever remember the future?
What might've been if you were sorry sooner
'Cause I moved on and you moved on but we both know it's true
Baby, I am the best thing that won't ever happen to you
It's opening night, you're pacing, you're nervous
You keep telling yourself, "I made it, I did this"
You reach for a necktie, and that's when you feel it
Nostalgia for something that never existed
Your tie's hanging crooked, I did it on purpose
The cast makes a circle, it's magic, it's Christmas
Your face in my hands, babe, "Look around, you did this"
The crowd's going wild, why wouldn't they be?
When you get off stage, you're just looking at me
We go home for the night, half drunk with relief
You say all that it took was love and belief
Do you ever remember the future?
What might've been if you were sorry sooner
'Cause I moved on and you moved on but we both know it's true
Baby, I am the best thing that won't ever happen to you
Saturday morning, you take off your glasses
It's raining, you're lost in my linen pajamas
Mambo on the needle, straight out of Havana
You're painting, I'm making us bread out of browning bananas
I almost start crying, it makes you stop singing
You ask me what happened, I'm beaming as I put your
Hand on my stomach, I hitch in my breathing
"I made a new friend, and I want you to meet him"
Do you ever remember the future?
What might've been if you were sorry sooner
'Cause I moved on and you moved on but we both know it's true
Baby, I am the best thing that won't ever happen to you
It's opening night, you're pacing, you're nervous
You keep telling yourself, "I made it, I did this"
You reach for a necktie, and that's when you feel it
Nostalgia for something that never existed
