Future Casual

V5.5

[Verse 1] I used to have the whole thing mapped, a five-year color-coded plan Every milestone with a deadline, every step already ran I'd pin the future to a corkboard and I'd worry it to death And the plan kept needing rewrites every time I took a breath [Chorus] Now I'm keeping it future casual, no necktie on tomorrow I don't script it to the minute, I just roll up and I follow I've got a heading, not a highway, and I leave a little slack Future casual, and I'm not scared of the map Future casual, and I'm making it up as I go [Verse 2] Turns out the plans I clung to hardest were the first ones to go wrong And the best things that have happened weren't on any list at all So I hold it all with open hands now, pencil, never pen And I let the day surprise me, and it does, again and again [Chorus] Now I'm keeping it future casual, no necktie on tomorrow I don't script it to the minute, I just roll up and I follow I've got a heading, not a highway, and I leave a little slack Future casual, and I'm not scared of the map Future casual, and I'm making it up as I go [Bridge] I'm not saying don't prepare, I just say don't strangle it to death A life that's planned to the last inch has got no room to breathe Leave a couple boxes empty, leave a Sunday open wide And let whatever wants to happen have a way to get inside [Final Chorus] So I'm keeping it future casual, no necktie on tomorrow I don't script it to the minute, I just roll up and I follow I've got a heading, not a highway, and I leave a little slack Future casual, and I'm not scared of the map Future casual, and I'm making it up as I go Future casual, and it's the loosest I've felt yet
