I hear the clock, it's six a.m. I feel so far from where I've been I got my eggs, I got my pancakes too I've got my maple syrup, everything but you I break the yolks, and make a smiley face I kinda like it in my brand new place Wipe the spots off of the mirror, don't leave my keys in the door I never put wet towels on the floor anymore 'cause
Dreams last so long Even after you're gone I know that you love me And soon you will see You were meant for me And I was meant for you (Natural Harmonics)
I called my momma, she was out for a walk Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk so I Picked up a 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 oh, I was sad and It made me miss you, oh so bad 'cause
Dreams last so long Even after you're gone I know that you love me And soon you will see You were meant for me And I was meant for you
I go about my business, I'm doin' 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
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 then I turn the sheets down And then I take a deep breath, a good look around Put on my pj's and hop into bed I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead I, I try and tell myself it'll all be alright I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause
Dreams last so long Even after you're gone I know that you love me And soon you will see You were meant for me And I was meant for you
Yeah, you were meant for me and I was meant for You ..............
