Cover art for Futures lyrics by Jimmy Eat World

First off, this album is amazing! This song has many multiple meanings. Of course its about the upcoming election in Nov. "I hope for better in November" and thats when you can vote! Its also talking about the current state of your own life. So hay hello to good times (the times we remember) trade up for the fast ride (we need excitement in our lives) and the best lines of the song "Why is it so hard to find balance Between living decent and the cold and real" describes the American family perfect in todays world. And the last lines of the song "Hey now, the past is told by those who win My darling, what matters is what hasn't been Hey now, we're wide awake and we're thinking My darling, believe your voice can mean something" You have to believe your voice does make a difference in this world whether it be in an election or in your own decisions.
