Seventeen, we were so naive
Thinking this was meant to last
If only we could've seen
Through a looking glass
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
