Meant to Be

Verse

She swore off dating, gave up on the spark

Living in a world that she built in the dark

She looks in the mirror and sees every flaw

The height, the skin, the things that she saw

She finds more comfort in the pages of a book

Than in her friends' laughter or a passing look

Just a middle-class girl who won't follow the trend

An outcast from Alaska, waiting for the end.

Verse

Then there’s the boy from the family with gold

The kind of story that’s already been told

He doesn’t try hard, yet he’s liked by them all

A freshman starter playing varsity ball

One single look and her walls start to shake

A foundation of granite beginning to break

She’s holding her dignity with a trembling hand

Trying to remember where she meant to stand.

Chorus

As the time flies, she’s rebuilding the stone

But he looks at her and she’s no longer alone

He made her feel beautiful, he saw through the haze

And everything changed in the light of his gaze

She’s weighing the risk of the highs and the lows

Is it better to hide or to see where it goes?

Bridge

She knows he’s too good, almost too good to be true

But what is a girl in her position to do?

Sticking to her lows means she might miss the light

She’s tired of running, she’s tired of the fight.

Chorus

As the time flies, she’s rebuilding the stone

But he looks at her and she’s no longer alone

He made her feel beautiful, he saw through the haze

And everything changed in the light of his gaze.

Outro

The girl who swore off dating is falling at last

For the boy who doesn’t try, moving so fast

Could this be the moment she finally sees?

That maybe, just maybe, they’re meant to be.
