I am amazed by your use of the phrase
We were meant to be
Cause what does it mean when you're just 17
And the heart can't see
But I need your face so I moved in your place and a year goes by
But our little dream was a treacherous stream
Now I'm high and dry
Broke my body, kung fu, karate
Threw my shit out into the lobby
I can't change if you can't change
But we both know things can't stay the same
So I'll take another drive and wonder
What we could've been
I'm forever dreaming
What we could've been
I'm forever dreaming
Sometimes you have got to give up to win
What we could've been
I'm forever dreaming
Now I am a waste. I'm a flowerless vase never leave the bed
And I realize I was my own demise, when I pull the thread
What are my chances my right brain romances, a boy can dream
I'm all outa luck but I don't give a fuck
We were meant to be
Work my body, yoga, pilates
Get my shit together then I'll be
Everything to get you back and if it's our last scene
We'll fade to black
And I'll take another drive and wonder
What we could've been
I'm forever dreaming
What we could've been
I'm forever dreaming
Sometimes you have got to give up to win
What we could've been
I'm forever dreaming
Holding on but I should let it go
Gotta release what I can't control
You can find me the way the wind blows
(Way the wind blows, way the wind blows)
Holding on but I should let it go
Gotta release what I can't control
You can find me the way the wind blows
Holding on but I should let it go
Gotta release what I can't control
You can find me the way the wind blows
Holding on but I should let it go
Gotta release what I can't control
You can find me the way the wind blows
