Past Perfect Future Tense

Tell me a story of how it began
And show me the point of departure
There was a road we could have gone down
To avoid our recent disasters

I remember so well what you said to me
We are who we were always going to be
We are always going to be who we are, you and me

I understand the words, they just make no sense
In a past perfect future tense

Show me the place where things fell apart
And hand me a map of our actions
Give me a clue where about I should start
Recording unholy transactions

I remember so well what you said to me
We are who we were always going to be
We are always going to be who we are, don't you see?

I know these words, they just make no sense
In past perfect future tense

I remember so well how you set me free
We are who we were always going to be
We are always going to be who we are, don't you see?

I hear you now, it makes much more sense
In past perfect future tense

Well, it's hard to explain, but it makes much more sense
In past perfect future tense
