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
