YOU WERE MEANT FOR ME

 

I hear the clock, it's six am

I feel so far from where I've been

I've got my eggs and got my pancakes too

got my maple syrup, everything but you

I break the yolks and make a smiley face

I kinda like it in my brand new place

I wipe the spots off of the mirror

don't leave the keys in the door

I never put wet towels on the floor anymore

 

CHORUS 'cos dreams last so long

even after you're gone

I know that you love me and soon you will see

you were meant for me

and I was meant for you

 

Called my momma she was out for a walk

consoled a cup of coffee

but it didn't wanna talk

picked up the paper it was more bad news

more heart being broken and people being used

put on my coat in the pouring rain

I saw a movie it just wasn't the same 'cause

it was happy and

I was sad

and it made me miss you oh so bad

 

CHORUS

 

BRIDGE I go 'bout my business, I'm doing fine

besides what would I say if I had you on the line

same old story, not much to say

hearts get broken every day

 

brush my teeth and put the cap back on

I know you hate it when I leave the light on

I pick a book up and turn the sheets down

take a deep breath and a good look around

put on my pj's and hop into bed

I'm half alive but I fell mostly dead

I try and tell myself that it'll all be alright

I just shouldn't think anymore tonight

 

CHORUS

 

Jewel Kilcher and Steve Poltz
