Meant To Be

And the furniture was painted

from natural wood to olive green this year

and the bedroom was done over

to keep up with the fashion of the time

And through the doorway there's a couch where

we killed the afternoon without a try

Through the doorway there's a couch where

we killed the afternoon

I was pulled for conversation

on a payphone at the place downtown you were

and I heard traffic in the background

I hear it all the time

Love you by association

Tell myself that I will look ahead,

but I will see and smell and hear things I cannot forget

And it was clearly never meant to be

it was clearly never meant to be

it was clearly never meant to be

it was clearly never meant to be
