You've got me sick,
I've got to run,
but there's nowhere
I can hide.
I'll build myself
a sacred place;
I'll build a door
and I'll sit inside,
and it'll take me far away,
to another time, another day.

Here in the future
they've got better cars,
and nicer homes,
and kinder views.
Here in the future
there are dinosaurs,
robotic lives,
and flying shoes!
Here in the future
there's no you.

This place is great;
I feel so high
going at Mach 12
up in the sky.
I never knew just
quite how free,
with separation
'tween you and me.
And while I may be sad,
things are better than I've ever had.

Here in the future
they've got better cars,
and nicer homes,
and kinder views.
Here in the future
there are dinosaurs,
robotic lives,
and flying shoes!
Here in the future
there's no you.

And while I've seen all history,
and I’m sure you’re missin’ me,
I know it’s for the best.
We both needed a rest.
It wasn’t gonna happen right,
a never-ending, useless fight.
And that shouldn’t be ours.
It’s just not in the stars!

While all of time
is so vast,
I never really
liked the past.
It’s highly likely
I’m gonna stay
the more the memories
fade away.
And I wish you the best.
But now I'm off for my own quest!

Here in the future
they've got better cars,
and nicer homes,
and kinder views.
Here in the future
there are dinosaurs,
robotic lives,
and flying shoes!
Here in the future
there's no you.
