[About The Song]
[Verse 1]
I was wand'rin' the other day
And I found myself eye-to-eye with our old place
And I felt something missing, even though I'm complete
And I know somewhere you're smiling, even though it's not with me
I was wond'rin' the other day
And I found myself watchin' that night replay
And I felt something behind me, even though I was alone
And I know somewhere you're smiling, even though you're far from home
[Chorus]
This isn't exactly what I expected
As I saw us fade to gray
No, this isn't what I expected
As we turned and walked away
[Verse 2]
I was walkin' the other day
And I found myself hearing you say my name
And I felt something burning, even though there were no matches
And I know somewhere you're smiling, even if the cameras aren't flashing
[Chorus]
This isn't exactly what I expected
As I saw us fade to gray
No, this isn't what I expected
As we turned and walked away
[Bridge]
And now
I'm looking back
On the memories, adventures, times we've had
And if
I could live them again
I'd love to, but I wouldn't want to change a single breath
[Chorus]
This isn't exactly what I expected
As I saw us fade to gray
No, this isn't what I expected
As we turned and went our separate ways
