One of the few songs that feature just Paul on vocals. A song that had been hanging around for some time until Paul decided on a complete re-write proving that, no matter what your situation, it’s never too late to start again. Because the future starts today.

Lyrics
Just like any other, the day it started late
The doorbell ringing down the hall
I thought I'd let it wait
All the post was typed in red, I turned a type of green
I walked out for some air
Felt like I should be quarantined
But I put on the best face I had
Best saved for Halloween
I sat down for a coffee by a woman with a hat
She told me she was psychic
But I never go for that
Who needs to face the future
I can't even face the past
Heading back through town a traveller stopped me for a light
He said, hey, why don't you come with me?
I said, you know, I might
He said you look like a man to me who's had his ups and downs
Who took a roller-coaster ride or something more profound
Now you're wondering where the time went
Have you checked out lost and found?
I thought about this hard and in a while it came to me
This picture that I’m painting's not the man I'm meant to be
I thanked him for the flash of light and I bid him on his way
It don’t matter where the time went
The future starts today
It don’t matter where the time went
The future starts today
