Tell me a story of how it began
show me the point of departure
There was a road we could have gone down
To avoid our recent disasters
I remember so well what you said to me:
We are who we were always going to be
We were always going to be who we are you
and me
I know the words, they just make no sense
In past perfect future tense
Show me the place where things fell apart
Hand me a map of our actions
Give a clue where about I should start
Recording unholy transactions
I remember so well what you said to me;
We are who we were always going to be
We are always going to be who we are
don’t you see
I know the words,
they just make no sense
In past perfect future tense
I remember so well how you set me free;
We are who we were always going to be
We are always going to be who we are
don’t you see
I hear you now,
And it makes much more sense
In a past perfect future tense
It’s hard to explain,
But it makes much more sense
In past perfect future tense
