Song Description

Woman thinks back on what should have been.

Lyrics

You said we'd have a house with a porch all around it
And we'd build it all from scratch or we'd know it when we found it
I believed every word that you told me 'cause you told me and they sounded so good

You would finish school while I was waiting tables
Then you'd buy me a ring just as soon as you were able
I guess I was a fool 'cause I still believed in fables, but this fable's no good

That was yesterday's dream, yesterday's plan
When I was your woman and you were my man
Our future is history now
Our future is history now
Despite some bad breaks
And our silly mistakes
We still thought we would make it somehow
Our future is history now

I told you that I wanted a big wedding celebration
With a honeymoon in Paris or some fancy destination
Who could have imagined such a perfect situation would end up like this?

Those were yesterday's thoughts
Such crazy ideas
Funny how silly they seem through the years
Our future is history now
Our future is history now
We made it through dramas
From passion to traumas
With every last promise and vow
Our future is history now

Some people say that you had a roving eye
And no matter how I tried I'd never keep you at home
Other folks say that I was way too possessive
And we would have suffered less if I just left you alone
Who really knows?
Our fate has been cast
The dreams of our future are lost in the past


We said we'd have a pretty girl that looked just like her mother
We said that was for you and that for me she'd have a brother
We thought we'd have a family that wasn't like another and we couldn't miss
Now the house isn't built
The kids aren't born
My picture of you is faded and worn
Our future is history now
Our future is history now
We can never go back
'Cause we got off the track
And I don't know exactly how
Our future is history now
Our future is history now
Our future is history now
