Lyrics

Futures Bet

I'm you, you're me
The candle won't go out, so let us be
Breathing in, breathing out
Breathing in, breathing out
No matter what we did or didn't do
The only thing that's true
Is breathing in, breathing out
Breathing in, breathing out

Goodbye, history
Why don't we let it be a mystery
That we never sort out?
I'm laying down a future's bet
There's always gonna be someone alive
Someone wanting to know why
Why do we wanna know why?

When nothing is wrong
Everything is fine
This is just life
This is just life
Nothing is wrong
Evеrything is fine
This is just life
This is just life

I'm you, you'rе me
This is the way it's got to be
Breathing in, breathing out
The candle shines loud
No matter what we did or didn't do
Let it all ring true
And breathe in, and breathe out
And breathe in, and breathe out

Goodbye, history
Why don't we let it all be a mystery
That we never sort out?
I'm laying down a future's bet
There's always gonna be someone alive
Someone wanting to know why
Why do we wanna know why?

When nothing is wrong
Everything is fine
This is just life
This is just life
Nothing is wrong
Everything is fine
This is just life
This is just life
This is just life (this is just life)
This is just life (this is just life)

Why do we wanna know why?
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
