My Future in Your Hand

The elevator kept going down But every floor smelled more like heaven than hell When the door opened You were standing there With my future in your hand I should be happy But it's bittersweet Told me what I needed Not what I wanted to hear Got what I wanted Now I'm right back here Gave me a gift that would change my life Thank you for the advice "I think it will be a long time But you'll be back here" My future in your hand My future in your hand My future in your hand My future in your hand She handed me a bottle and a book "You'll need this if you wanna live And this will teach you how to die And this will tell you all the lies" I should be happy But it's bittersweet Told me what I needed Not what I wanted to hear Got what I wanted Now I'm right back here Gave me a gift that would change my life Thank you for the advice "Keep on singing" My future in your hand My future in your hand My future in your hand My future in your hand My future in your hand My future in your hand My future in your hand My future in your hand And the elevator kept going down But every floor smelled more like heaven than hell When the door opened You were standing there With my future in your hand
