Songwriter: Dan Smith

Producer: Dan Smith Mark Crew

[Verse 1]
You took me to your favourite place
On Earth
To see the tree they cut down
Ten years from your birth

Our fingers traced in circles
Round its history
We brushed our hands right back in time
Through centuries

[Pre-Chorus]
As you held me down
You said:

[Chorus]
"I'll see you in the future
When we're older
And we are full of stories
To be told

Crossing my heart
And hope to die
I'll see you with your
Laughter lines"

[Verse 2]
Changes on our hands
And on our faces, oh, oh
Memories are mapped out
By the lines we'll trace

[Pre-Chorus]
As you held me down
You said:

[Chorus]
"I'll see you in the future
When we're older
And we are full of stories
To be told

Crossing my heart
And hope to die
I'll see you with your
Laughter lines"

[Bridge]
Ashen faces in cold breeze
Ashen faces in cold breeze
Armed with stories, you will leave, oh oh
Armed with stories, you will leave

[Chorus]
"I'll see you in the future
When we're older
And we are full of stories
To be told

Crossing my heart
And hope to die
I'll see you with your
Laughter lines"

[Outro]
I'll see you in the future
When we're old
I'll see you in the future
When we're old

Bastille

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

Someone recently said to ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
