Hey future, you're not my friend

Wish I could live what I preach and be done
But I am imperfectly just someone
Hiding behind microphones and lights, and lights
Hey future, I'm wondering why
Why it's been my necessity

Please future, give me more time
Please, you show me how I, I, I've been
Hiding behind microphones and lights, and lights
Because I'm terrified of the unknown tonight, tonight
Wish I could live what I preach and be done
But I am imperfectly just someone
Hiding behind microphones and lights, and lights
Hiding behind microphones and lights, and lights
Because I'm terrified of the unknown tonight, tonight
Wish I could live what I preach and be done
But I am imperfectly just someone
Hiding behind microphones and lights, and lights
