FOREST FOR THE PAST / FUTURE FOR THE TREES
dear old diary
long time no see
you remember me
we only met a bit ago
ask my grandma
she'll agree
she is a font of knowledge
i will hate to see her go
i'm all that i have
i say that a lot
and though my brain is full of plans
i can't see the future for the past
but give me one more chance
pull me over
local officer
do your worst guess work
cause i couldn't see the sign
i'm all that i have
i say that a lot
and through my landfill of a plan
i can't see my future for my past
but give me one more chance
i don't know the way
i don't know the way
do it over
clean out your comb
on the kinds of lovers
who just need a little time
once you let loose
things you love
they will not return to you
that is, not without a fight
i'm all that i have
i say this a lot
and though my brain is full of plans
i can't see the future for the past
give me one more chance
i'm all that i have
i say that a lot
and is the rain part of a plan
can you see the future in the past
give me one more chance
