I Meant To
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Things get in the way
Rush of every day
Ordinary stuff we all get into
Wouldn't it be sad
If all you ever had
Was a granite epitaph that said I meant to
So any pretty woman I didn't take the time to kiss
Any crazy thing I didn't do
I meant to
Any dirty liar I didn't stare right in the eye
And make 'em tell the naked truth
I meant to
I'm always on the run
Things get lost
Some things get done
But if I didn't have all the fun
I meant to
If I never came out and said
To each and every woman I love
How much I really do
I meant to
Maybe this one chance is all we really have
Maybe all you got is what you get to
Well I ain't gonna cry
I'll give it my best try
And kiss the world goodbye and say I meant to
So any pretty woman I didn't take the time to kiss
Any crazy thing I didn't do
I meant to
Any dirty liar I didn't stare right in the eye
And make 'em tell the naked truth
I meant to
I'm always on the run
Some things get done
But if I didn't have all the fun
I meant to ( I meant to)
If I never came out and said
To each and every woman I love
How much I really do
I meant to
I meant to
