Meant to Be
Ali Caldwell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Aye
oh na na na na na na na
they say
you should never pass up on your love of tomorrow
by giving up the love you have today
its the little things
that satisfy us anyway
so you hit gotta complicate a thing
cus I'm here to stay

every time we try to change things
rearrange things
we always end up with the same thing
thats why were here together
cus we finally see that
we cant change
whats destined to be

whats meant to be
it will be
no we ain't gotta force it
i know that you were made for me
fates the controller
i just in you
you believe in me
boy you make this easy
whats meant to be it will
whats meant to be it will be

in time you'll see
(whats meant to be it will be)
you
me
are we
you were made just fo me

we could try to pretend
this ain't got happen no
if the ship goes down
I'm the music playing for the captain
yeah
we got a love that eternity is jealous of
above anything that try to tare us up
there's no question of will i
the answer is will you realize
we are destined to be

oh no no i
can not hide this feeling that i have inside
i said if i could
i would
lord knows i tried




and if its real than you cant let
it go by (ah ah ah ah)
