Moments
Allen & Envy and Gemma Pavlovic Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sticks and stones didn't break my bones
But words they sure did hurt me
Leaned over for a shoulder to cry on
As we rebuild our broken town
I'm sorry that the cards fell where they did
And your hope flew away with the wind
In the moment, you will see
That you and I were meant to be

In the moment, you will see
That you and I, were meant to be
You've been falling over and over this blind love
But you're scared to admit it
I gave you my heart and you know it
Is there still a hint in your kiss
I'm sorry that the cards fell where they did
And your hope flew away with the wind
In the moment, you will see
That you and I were meant to be
In the moment, you will see
That you and I, were meant to be
Meant to be
Meant to be
In the moment, you will see
That you and I were meant to be

In the moment, you will see
That you and I, were meant to be
