Seventeen, we were so naive Thinking this was meant to last If only we could've seen Through a looking gla** Two strangers staring right back They would laugh at us Thinking we knew what love was Couldn't anybody tell me why Couldn't anybody tell me why The highway's meant for fast cars The big screen's meant for movie stars But I was never meant to be with you The bird is meant to soar the skies The moon is meant to move the tides But I was never meant to be with you No, I was never meant to be with you Now your tears got me trying To remember all the sounds of your laugh Another memory in the vault That we call our past Couldn't anybody tell me why Couldn't anybody tell me why The highway's meant for fast cars The big screen's meant for movie stars But I was never meant to be with you The bird was meant to soar the skies The moon is meant to move the tides But I was never meant to be with you No, I was never meant to be with you I never meant to break your heart Wish that I could grab your hand And take you back to the start The world will stay the same But we are young and we both know That we're gonna change The highway's meant for fast cars The big screen's meant for movie stars But I was never meant to be with you The bird is meant to soar the skies The moon is meant to move the tides But I was never meant to be with you My heart was meant to love someone I'll take with me what we have done But I was never meant to be with you No, I was never meant to be with you No, I was never meant to be with you
