Meant to Be
Bec Cartwright Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you the one for me
Do you really think
I am your destiny
So many emotions
I got going inside
Just when I think that I know
I wonder
What if I'm not right
I would do anything
To see our two stars collide

Like the flowers and rain that's falling down
Like the sun and the moon above me now
I wanna be Meant To Be (together)
I wanna be Meant To Be (with you)
Like a river running might to the sea
Or the wind blowing softly through the trees
I wanna be Meant To Be (together)
I wanna be Meant To Be with you

How do you know for sure
That its gonna last
No one could love me more
So why do I ask?
I see it so clearly
When I look in your eyes
There's not a beat of my heart
That's ever told a lie
But still I wanna believe it til the day I die

Romeo and Juliet
They knew for sure
They didn't guess
And I
Want us to be that way
Cinderella and her prince
They kissed and haven't looked back since that night
They simply sealed their fate

I just wanna know beyond a doubt
That we're always forever and not just now




I wanna be Meant To Be (together)
I wanna be Meant To Be with you
