[Intro] The last train hums beyond the avenue Your photograph is folded in two [Verse 1] We wrote our names on a cinema receipt Then lost the little paper in the backseat You said the world was wider than this town I watched your red coat disappear downtown [Pre-Chorus] If the years rearrange every door If we become who we weren't before Keep one promise underneath the blue I'll save a little time for you [Chorus] See you in the future, where the old dreams shine Where your hand finds mine at the perfect time See you in the future, when the long road ends We'll laugh at all the distance and begin again See you in the future See you in the future [Verse 2] I kept the ticket from that summer fair And every winter still unfolds it there The ink has faded, but I know the place A ferris wheel, a paper moon, your face [Pre-Chorus] When the years have softened every scar When we remember how brave we are If you hear this melody come through Let it carry me to you [Chorus] See you in the future, where the old dreams shine Where your hand finds mine at the perfect time See you in the future, when the long road ends We'll laugh at all the distance and begin again See you in the future See you in the future [Bridge] Maybe we'll meet by a bookstore door Older, wiser, wanting nothing more You'll say, "You made it," I'll say, "So did you" And all the years will turn to something new [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] See you in the future, where the old dreams shine Where your hand finds mine at the perfect time See you in the future, when the long road ends We'll laugh at all the distance and begin again See you in the future, no matter what we do Every road I take keeps leading back to you See you in the future See you in the future [Outro] The last train hums, but I can hear it through A little promise waiting there with you
