“Future Memories” is about Kina Grannis' hope for future memories to be made with her husband and their anticipated baby daughter. The pregnancy written about in this song was lost and is mourned by Kina and her husband Jesse (Imaginary Future), as the song details.
[Verse]
Time and the hero beckon me
Hiding in the pages listening
And the stories all go tried, tired, tired
So we photograph the way we felt
We cling when starts fading
Still we know that we hold everything
[Chorus]
You and the roses dance around
Play in the garden smiling
I didn't notice how much love I've known
The setting sun will pass for no one
[Verse]
Future memories often lie
Inside of all the hope inside the light
So we follow every star and pray in time
[Chorus]
You and the roses dance around
Play in the garden laughing
I didn't notice how much you have grown
The setting sun will pass for no one
We watched the leaves unfolding quietly
No tugging at the time warp way of things
And we mirror both the growth and whithering
[Chorus]
You and the roses dance around
He's in the garden crying
I didn't notice yet that I had gone
The setting sun will pass for no one
