Future Kids - Sara Kays

作词：Sara Kays/Steven Martinez

When I was a kid I made a book

Planning out how my future would look

I drew in pictures of houses with views

Two swings in the backyard

One pink and one blue

Now that I'm older I wish I could see

A world where that still made sense to me

'Cause if my future kids end up like me

They won't get to sleep earlier than three

They'll be thinking 'bout how they can be

Better than they are taking it too far

Trying to change the things

I love the most about them

And I don't think I could ever

Stand to see that happen no

I was too young when

I picked out their names

And wrote them at the top of every page

'Cause I don't know I would grow up to hate

The way that I look in my size and my shape

I wish I could make sure that they never see

Themselves in the same way that I see me

'Cause if my future kids end up like me

They won't get to sleep earlier than three

They'll be thinking 'bout how they can be

Better than they are taking it too far

Trying to change the things

I love the most about them

And I don't think I could ever

Stand to see that happen no

I'll keep the book in a safe place

'Cause I'm not quite ready to throw it away

'Cause if my future kids end up like me

They won't get to sleep earlier than three

They'll be thinking 'bout how they can be

Better than they are taking it too far

Trying to change the things

I love the most about them

And I don't think I could ever

Stand to see that happen no
