  • (Meant for me)
    (It's not meant for me?)
    (It's not meant for me?)
    (It's not meant for me?)
    (It's not meant for me?)
    (It's not meant for me?)
    (It's not meant for me?)

    I'd like to get to know you
    I'd like to take you out
    We'd go to The Hail Mary
    And afterwards, make out
    Instead, I'm typing you a message
    That I know I'll never send
    Rewriting old excuses
    Delete the kisses at the end
    When I see you, the whole world reduces
    To just that room
    And then I remember and I'm shy
    That gossip's eye will look too soon
    And then I'm trapped, overthinking
    And yeah, probably self-doubt
    You tell me to get over it
    And to take you out
    But I can't, I'm too scared
    And here's the night bus, I have to go
    And the doors are closing, and you were waving
    And I like you, and I'll never let it show
    And you won't wait, and maybe I won't mind
    I work better on my own
    And now I'm home, a little bit drunk
    And I ask myself

    (Meant for me)
    (It's not meant for me?)
    (It's not meant for me?)

    (It's not meant for me?)
    (It's not meant for me?)
    (It's not meant for me?)

    What if it's not meant for me?

    A few days pass since I last saw you
    And you've taken over my mind
    I'm retelling jokes you made that made me laugh
    Pretending that they're mine
    I wanna tell the whole world about you
    I think that that's a sign
    I'm losing self-control and it's you
    It really is, one thousand times
    I look at your picture and I smile
    How awful's that? I'm like a teenage girl
    I might as well write all over my notebook
    That you "rock my world"
    But you do, you really do
    You've turned me upside down
    And that's okay, I'll let it happen
    'Cause I like having you around
    I'm electric, a romantic cliché
    Yeah, they really are all true
    When we catch eyes at that stupid party
    I know exactly what to do
    I'll take your hand, and we will leave
    French exits from me and you
    And now I'm home, a little bit drunk
    Some things don't change
    And I know now

    If I knew what's meant to be (?)
    (?)
    If I knew what's meant to be (?)
    (?)
    If I knew what's meant to be (?)
    (?)
    If I knew what's meant to be (?)
    (?)
