lyrics

THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME

This is a sign, a warning
This is the beginning of the end
All around us the world is crashing down
while you and I play pretend

You think we’re bound for glory, the road’s about to bend
I know this story, I know how it ends

I see the future (the shape of things to come)
I see the ending (and we’d only just begun)
And baby I’m trying not to run, but I can see
the damage that’s been done
and the shape of things to come
The shape of things to come

Is it too late to save us?
Is it too late to change?
Cuz I would rather die than be lifeless and alive
baby, we’re dying anyway

You think we’re bound for glory, the road’s about to bend
I know this story, I know how it ends

I see the future (the shape of things to come)
I see the ending (and we’d only just begun)
And baby I’m trying not to run, but I can see
the damage that’s been done
and the shape of things to come
The shape of things to come

We could face it, spare ourselves the hurt
Instead of waiting for the pain to get much worse
I know it’s over, I won’t let go
I’m holding on for one last hope

For the future ...
in the ending…
And when it’s done I hope we see the sun
and the shape of things to come
