When I left your house today
Somebody approached me
Carrying something that looked like a camera
And "would I like to see
A picture of the future?"
I thought it was strange
But there was something about it
Looking back I recall
The eyes of an angel
Who wouldn't wonder
What it would look like
He said "clear your mind
And look at me
Try not to right blink
Or make sudden movements"
I said I was ready
And he pushed a button
I opened my eyes and here's what I saw was
It was a picture of the future
You're not in it
A picture of the future
You're not in it
A picture of the future
You're not in it
I can't picture me without you
I looked to the sky
With a tear in my eye
Oh I looked to the east
And I looked to the west
I looked at you
And I thought I'd stop
Because
It's a picture of the future
You're not in it
A picture of the future
You're not in it
A picture of the future
You're not in it
I left your house today
Somebody approached me
Carrying something that looked like a camera
And "would I like to see
A picture of the future?"
