Fight the Future Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The world is changing but you can’t fight the past
Hold your breath, it keeps advancing
You know it’s hanging just out of your grasp
You reach out but it’s too far gone

[Pre-Chourus]
Call it chaos or disbelief
I won’t become a double standard
Plead your case, but make it brief
The world has got a date with disaster

[Chorus]
So float away, float away
In search of a time worth changing
Look around you, look around
You’ll see that your world is wasting
Barely alive, nowhere to hide
But still we keep on hoping
Someone give me a sign

[Verse 2]
You feel you’re broken but you’re never alone
Call it pride, but keep your distance
The fire’s burning as it heats up the stone
Self defined, we fuel resistance
[Pre-Chourus]
Call it chaos or disbelief
I won’t become a double standard
Plead your case, but make it brief
The world has got a date with disaster

[Chorus]
So float away, float away
In search of a time worth changing
Look around you, look around
You’ll see that your world is wasting
Barely alive, nowhere to hide
But still we keep on hoping
Someone give me a sign

[Verse 3]
Take another look around
Is gravity what’s dragging us down?
One by one
Hold your breath and close your eyes
The stars are falling out of the sky
One by one

[Bridge]
Float away, float away
[Chorus]
So float away, float away
In search of a time worth changing
Look around you, look around
You’ll see that your world is wasting
Barely alive, nowhere to hide
But still we keep on hoping
Someone give me a sign

[Outro]
Someone give me a sign
Someone give me a sign

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
