When I Met You

When I met you

I saw the future of the future, and what to do

Can you see me now

I'm more than willing, and I want to be your pal

Life's crooked hand

Has already pushed us back together again

I want you awful now

And I'm worrying how you see me plain

Do you really, really have to know my name?

Time marches on

The parade and the charade keeps turning round

I look for you

In every book, in every cartoon movie too

I saw the past

Tomorrows always go, they never really last

I found the truth

And I swear, it nearly flipped me through the roof

I broke through fate

But every time, I wound up being sort of late

When I met you

I saw the future of the future, and what to do
