You Were Meant For Me (Live 2 Meter Sessions At VARA Studio, Netherlands – October 16, 1996)
[Verse 1]
I hear the clock, it's six A.M
I feel so far from where I've been
I got my eggs, my pancakes too
I got the maple syrup, everything but you
I break the yolks and make a smiley face
I kind of like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots up off the mirror, don't leave the keys in the door
I never put wet towels on the floor anymore 'cause
[Chorus]
Dreams last for so long
Even after you're gone
And I know you love me
And soon, you will see
You werе meant for me
And I was meant for you
[Verse 2]
I callеd my mama, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee, but it didn't wanna talk
So I picked up the paper, it was more bad news
More hearts being broken or 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 or I was sad
And it made me miss you oh so bad 'cause
[Chorus]
Dreams last for so long
Even after you're gone
And I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
[Bridge]
I go about 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 are broken, every day
[Verse 3]
I brush my teeth, I 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
And take a deep breath, a good look around
Put on my PJs and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
But I try and tell myself it'll all be alright
I shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause
[Chorus]
Dreams last for so long
Even after you're gone
And I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
[Outro]
Yeah, you were meant for me
And I was meant for you
