[Verse 1]
Goodbye horses, goodbye video stores
Goodbye payphones
No one uses them anymore
I would call you
But I wouldn't get through
I lost myself for a while
Then I lost myself in you

[Chorus]
Now I know the future starts slow
Moving through molasses as you’re walking me home

[Verse 2]
Everybody's moving to the coast
Even the houses are giving up their ghosts
You put your feet on the dashboard, then you say
What if all the feelings have use-by dates?
How will I know
(How will I know)
If you will ever love me?
(If you will ever love me)

[Chorus]
Now you know the future starts slow
Moving through molasses as you're walking me home
Now you know the future starts so slow
Moving through molasses as you’re walking me home
[Bridge]
There's a ring around the moon so I know we'll be alright
We watched the roman candles as they sputtered back to life
We went driving 'til we ran out of things to say
I was scared of the silence but you were never afraid

[Outro]
You said even if your aim, it is true
You're gonna hurt people, and they'll hurt you too
And it's a dark, dark magic that we're even here at all
So I’m gonna find my phone and give you a call
