It's Not Meant To Be
Walking down the same old street, the stables to the left of me
The tree we used to climb that looks so big
There was a boy who lived down the street and he used to come visit me
I hear now he's got a couple of kids
Oh, well, I wouldn't mind seeing him again but this
City life is beating down on me
You can't ride the waves in a sea of concrete
You can't move people who don't move their feet
Well, I guess I could leave, but it's not meant to be
I knew a lady and she knew grief, but she still used to smile at me
She'd talk of angels and things not meant to be
I wonder what she's doing now
I hope she's got a big old house and a dog to keep the loneliness at bay
Oh, well, I wouldn't mind seeing her again but this
This city life is beating down on me
You can't ride the waves in a sea of concrete
You can't move people who don't move their feet
Well, I guess I could leave, but it's not meant to be
It's not meant to be
I close my eyes to see more clearly
Stars I used to watch as I fall asleep
Where people work to live, not live to work
And things are as they seem
This city life is beating down on me
You can't ride the waves in a sea of concrete
You can't move people who don't move their feet
Well, I guess I could leave
City life is beating down on me
You can't ride the waves in a sea of concrete
You can't move people who don't move their feet
Well, I guess I could leave, but it's not meant to be
It's not meant to be
It's not meant to be
It's not meant to be
The tree we used to climb that looks so big
There was a boy who lived down the street and he used to come visit me
I hear now he's got a couple of kids
Oh, well, I wouldn't mind seeing him again but this
City life is beating down on me
You can't ride the waves in a sea of concrete
You can't move people who don't move their feet
Well, I guess I could leave, but it's not meant to be
I knew a lady and she knew grief, but she still used to smile at me
She'd talk of angels and things not meant to be
I wonder what she's doing now
I hope she's got a big old house and a dog to keep the loneliness at bay
Oh, well, I wouldn't mind seeing her again but this
This city life is beating down on me
You can't ride the waves in a sea of concrete
You can't move people who don't move their feet
Well, I guess I could leave, but it's not meant to be
It's not meant to be
I close my eyes to see more clearly
Stars I used to watch as I fall asleep
Where people work to live, not live to work
And things are as they seem
This city life is beating down on me
You can't ride the waves in a sea of concrete
You can't move people who don't move their feet
Well, I guess I could leave
City life is beating down on me
You can't ride the waves in a sea of concrete
You can't move people who don't move their feet
Well, I guess I could leave, but it's not meant to be
It's not meant to be
It's not meant to be
It's not meant to be
