i always thought it was "the future is old-fashioned," which makes sense with the backwards theme of the song.
but anyway, i think it's about being in a relationship that either has already failed or is destined to fail, but you don't want to admit it. so instead, you start believing the opposite of what's right in front of you hence "the age of backwards."
i wish more people would comment on this song. i love it.
