In a city in the future
We learned to beat the rain
Everybody is a lawyer
Everyone is drinking champagne
And I am six feet underwater
In a watery grave
Holding your hand with a smile upon my face
They have stolen all our prospects
It was fixed right from the start
They will try to break your spirit
But they can never break your heart
And I don’t have to be so stubborn
We can talk like it’s all fine
‘Cause I love you till the end of time
In a city in the future
They finally found a cure
To everything that ails us
And it’s sold at every store
And we both had it when it happened
It made us both blind
But we still played our favorite board games
Every night
They have stolen all our prospects
It was fixed right from the start
They will try to break your spirit
But they can never break your heart
And I will carry your to-go bag
Even if you can’t lift mine
‘Cause I love you till the end of time
They have stolen all our prospects
It was fixed right from the start
They will try to break your spirit
But they can never break your heart
And I know a God can hear us
She’s just waiting for a sign
I love you ’til the end of time
