Meant to Be
Denison Witmer Lyrics

And the furniture was painted
The previously natural wood furniture was repainted olive green.

From natural wood to olive green this year
The furniture got a new look in the color of olive green recently.

And the bedroom was done over
The bedroom was renovated or redecorated altogether.

To keep up with the fashion of the time
The bedroom renovation was done in accordance with the latest fashion trends.

And through the doorway there's a couch where
There's a couch located beyond the doorway, where...

We killed the afternoon without a try
We spent a lazy afternoon without much effort or plan at all.

Through the doorway there's a couch where
There's a couch located beyond the doorway, where...

We killed the afternoon
We spent a lazy afternoon without any productive activity.

I was pulled for conversation
I got involved in a conversation/got a call...

On a payphone at the place downtown you were
You were located downtown, at the time when I got involved in a conversation on a payphone.

And I heard traffic in the background
There was a background noise of traffic which I clearly heard during the conversation.

I hear it all the time
I often have to hear the constant noise of traffic in the background.

Love you by association
My love is merely an extension of my association or communication with you.

Tell myself that I will look ahead
I tell myself that I will focus on the future and not dwell on the past.

But I will see and smell and hear things I cannot forget
However, memories of you will still be present and cannot be erased fully.

And it was clearly never meant to be
This relationship never had a chance or was not destined to be together.

It was clearly never meant to be
The relationship was destined to not work out.

It was clearly never meant to be
The relationship was never meant to last or succeed.

It was clearly never meant to be
It is evident that there was no possibility or hope for the relationship to work out.
