Cover art for Forget About The Future lyrics by Sting

Think I need to wave my wand. But you won't because you are scared. Look, I am not Harrison Ford playing Indiana Jones and stepping into that chasm thinking my foot will find the magical path! So, you're not. You don't even look like him. Neither do you. You have no idea how I look. True, but I can sense a fairly frequent grin on your face. It had better not be a smirky grin. It is. So who's stuck in the past? You?
I'm not. Stuck, yes, but not in the past and not in the future. There is so much to consider and I am not an impulsive strategist. But you are. Silly me. I forgot. I'll work this out. You could help, you know.
Best not to. I have a way of turning everything into a free-for-all. You have a lighter touch. Have I been horoscope obsessed? I don't recall this.

You're dreaming. It's a wonder you recall anything at all and yet you do. Both of us could say that you have said more than once, you're moving way too fast. Impatience is exactly that and not exactly a recipe request for speed.
That's why you have the wand instead of us, baby. I wish I was smarter. I wish you weren't such a nervous nellie. I wish I knew how to do this. What does all this have to do with this song? Everything and nothing. I could be flying off the handle when I'm full of baloney again. We're both used to you doing this and we're fine with it. Part of your charm ....
