Fortune Teller (Redux) Lyrics

[Hook]
Nothings meant forever
Nothing last forever
How does our story end?
Fortune fortune teller
I just want my happily ever after
What’s in my future? Future?
Fortune fortune teller

[Verse 1]
You were something glamorous and retro
Magical and special
Backstage at a rock show
Playin’ my record on ya stereo
Nodding your head you said, “Let’s go...”
And I know, cause it’s been 6 months since your letter
4 months later saw you and him together
How dare ya
Call me tomorrow?
Have your shirt that I stole but said I borrowed

[Pre-Hook 1]
So where does this leave us love rocker?
Some unfinished business, uh huh...
See past your black eyeliner
But do ya still think of me?
And I swear I’ll be so much better
Now that I’m so much older
A wounded love soldier
When every song that I writes about you
Every song I writes about you
Every song I writes about you
Every song that I ever wrote was always about you
Bout you
Bout you
Every song
[Hook]
Nothings meant forever
Nothing last forever
How does our story end?
Fortune fortune teller
I just want my happily ever after
What’s in my future? Future?
Fortune fortune teller

[Verse 2]
I can only have you if I close my eyes
Rock-a-bye my lullaby
Lie and say that it’s alright
But it’s still not you at the end of the night
So I toss and I turn
Write a few bars
Play a slow song on your old guitar
No matter what I do to maintain
Still loose my breathe when I hear you name

[Pre-Hook 2]
So where does this leave us love rocker?
Some unfinished business, uh huh...
See past your black eyeliner
But do ya still think of me?
And I swear I’ll be so much better
Now that I’m so much older
A wounded love soldier
When every song that I writes about you
Every song I writes about you
Every song I writes about you
Every song I ever wrote about you
About you
About you
Every song
[Hook]
Nothings meant forever
Nothing last forever
How does our story end?
Fortune fortune teller
I just want my happily ever after
What’s in my future? Future?
Fortune fortune teller

[Bridge]
I’m a little bit older now
Bout finish my orbit now
Back to Saturn, it’s been awhile

Anger issues is so low brow
In a galaxy full of stars I neglected you
Admit I just wanted to have sex with you
Candid just wanted to film you in the nude
Had you doing all the shit I wanted to do
But see he just wanted to see my dick
Said he wanted to see how big it is
I lied and said I was out of it
You fell for all my tricks
And I’m an asshole for that night, right?
Bought you a watch just to apologize
Matching Lanvin’s just to make it right
Labeled pain and hurt, materialized

[Hook]
Nothings meant forever
Nothing last forever
How does our story end?
Fortune fortune teller
I just want my happily ever after
What’s in my future? Future?
Fortune fortune teller
