Lyrics
In your words I hear
In your eyes I see
I don't stack up
Well, please excuse me
God knows our future
And my philosophy is
My future self is waiting there for me
I'm on a train chugga-chuggin through time
I can't get off or change course so
I'm trapped in my ways and in my deeds
On track to be my future me
My fate is at my future station
One stop last stop me my destination
Don't blame me if I ain't top shelf
I'm a prisoner of my future self
I know you think I should be oh so better
A go-far rockstar sky-high flying go-getter
Well I am what I am
I'll be what I'll be
My fate is cast
Got no agency
Railroaded with a one-way ticket to my future me
I'm on a train chugga-chuggin through time
I can't get off or change course so
I'm trapped in my ways and in my deeds
On track to be my future me
My fate is at my future station
One stop, last stop, me my destination
Don't blame me if I ain't top shelf
I'm a prisoner of my future self
So get off my case
Get off my back
All I want from you is to cut me more slack
I'm on a train chugga-chuggin through time
I can't get off or change course so
I'm trapped in my ways and in my deeds
On track to be my future me
My fate is at my future station
One stop, last stop, me my destination
Don't blame me if I ain't top shelf
I'm a prisoner of my future self
I'm a prisoner of my future self
