Past Perfect Future Tense

Tell me a story of how it began
And show me the point of departure
There was a road
We could have gone down
To avoid our recent disasters

I remember so well
What you said to me
We are who we were always going to be
We were always going to be
Who we are, you and me
I understand the words
They just make no sense
In a past perfect future tense

Show me the place where things fell apart
And hand me a map of our actions
Give me a clue
Where about i should start
Recording unholy transactions

Oh I remember so well
What you said to me
We are who we were always going to be
We were always going to be who we are
Don't you see?

I know these words
They just make no sense
In past perfect future tense

I remember so well
You set me free
We are who we were always going to be
We were always going to be who we are
Don't you see?

I hear you now
And it makes much more sense
In a past perfect future tense
But it's hard to explain
But it makes much more sense
In past perfect future tense
