Here comes the future, sincere in its bearings
Surprising and brutal, surely it's scaring me
Here comes the future, please give me a minute
The choices I have made keep me awake at night

Here comes the future, I tried to ignore it
I can't get a hold on my feelings for it
Here comes the future, please give me a minute
The choices I have made wake me with a fever at five

If I could turn back time, if I could turn back time
If I could turn back time I wouldn't
Please let's not talk about the past

Well does it make you insecure? Oh yes, it does
It makes you really want to moan? Oh yes, it does
It makes your heart beat faster too? Oh yes, I can tell
So what are you going to do? Um, well...

Here comes the future, with all its decisions
And endless revisions, and unfulfilled missions
Here comes the future, please give me a second
The choices I have made keep me awake at night
The choices I have made wake me with a fever at five

If I could turn back time, if I could turn back time
If I could turn back time I wouldn't
Please, let's not talk about the past

If I could turn back time, if I could turn back time
If I could turn back time I wouldn't

    Thanks!!! I've been waiting for the lyrics for this song since I first heard it. I just have a doubt about the lyrics.

    "Here comes the future, with all its decisions And amateur visions, and awful formissions"

    There I think it goes:

    "Here comes the future, with all its decisions and endless revisions, unfulfilled missions"

    Hope it helps!! Thanks again!!

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song "Fortnight" by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word "fortnight" shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
