Was It Meant to Be

I don't understand, was it meant to be
Was forever in our plans, can it ever be
The smothering of hands, was it meant to be
The betterment of man's the intent I want to see
But I don't understand all the pleasures you seek
Are you measuring this man, by how you think he thinks
You like to think you're grand, but your thinking isn't free
Your life is really bland and you're still in disbelief
So the errors in your hands and the pressures you feed
Endeavors you expand as you're living with the grief
Doing better on exams, than you would ever think
The letters that you scan for the widening of cheeks
Breaking down the dams so the rivers they can weep
The Self is just a scam to keep the span from being seen
You think you're clever with ya plan, but together's what you need
And if you don't understand, well that's because of me

Was it meant to be
The thought of you and me (that's because of me)
Was it meant to be
The thought of you and me

I don't understand, was it meant to be
The blokes just a man, you seem set on what you need
Are you factoring his hands, and the way you feel his heat
There's a chapter in the pan, and the play is so unique
Deflecting where you stand with the language of retreat
Respect in demand but the act never seen
Inspecting the strands so you can vanquish who you've been
Reflecting all the plans to try and manage how you're seen
But you will never understand, until you set yourself free
Was it better just to chance or to feel you need to be
Perfect in his arms, who is realer when you're weak
Was it worth healing scars, or would you rather never weep
The person you need, the person you mislead
With the versions you remark as disturbances to peace
Did he mistreat her heart with recurring motifs
Or did she believe in halves not yet ripe to be a team (tell me)

Was it meant to be
The thought of you and me (that's because of me)
Was it meant to be
The thought of you and me

Would you please check your ideas and opinions at the door
All your philosophical and religious views
All your logic, and view what is as if you didn't even know how to talk
There is just this jazz

But yo the moment never flees
So are you open to receive
Simply floating on the sea
And growing closer to retrieve
The person that we need
From simply learning how to be
All the hurting set free
Sitting perfectly in peace... peace

Was it meant to be
The thought of you and me
Was it meant to be
The thought of you and me
Was it meant to be
The thought of you and me
Was it meant to be
The thought of you and me
