10. It Had To Be You
Motion City Soundtrack Lyrics

I'll get lost, messed up and bored when I'm alone too long
Being alone for a long time makes me feel directionless, depressed, and unsatisfied.

I can't sleep, function or eat when I'm not with someone
I suffer from insomnia, lack of motivation, and loss of appetite without the company of others.

Late last fall, she ended it all and moved to who-knows-where
During the previous autumn, my partner abruptly broke up with me and relocated to an unknown place.

Just like that, she vanished and packed and never even called
She disappeared without any warning, leaving no trace and not even bothering to communicate.

Do you feel a certain sense of synergy between yourself and me?
Do you perceive a deep connection and compatibility that exists between the two of us?

A kind of macabre and somber Wondertwin type of harmony
A gloomy and melancholic bond similar to the one shared by the Wonder Twins superhero duo from the comic books.

What if it was you? You that I needed all along
Suppose that you are the one I have been yearning for since forever.

I felt like a fool, Kicking and screaming and pretending we were wrong
I acted foolishly, trying to deny my true feelings and convincing myself that we were incompatible.

Let's get wrecked on pop tarts and snacks and see the Taj Mahal
Let's indulge ourselves in excessive consumption of junk food and travel all the way to India to witness the beauty of the Taj Mahal.

Let's save birds from Prince William Sound and skateboard through the mall
Let's participate in environmental conservation efforts by rescuing injured birds and having fun skating inside a shopping centre.

Let's fight crime with mangoes and limes and join the PGA
Let's use fruits like mangoes and limes as weapons to fight against evil-doers and become members of the Professional Golfers' Association.

Let's win big with every spin but hurry, I can't wait
Let's gamble and try to win as much money as we can, but we need to hurry because I am impatient.

Do you spend a fortune on those late night prepaid television scams In search of the perfect blender, steak knife and non-stick frying pan?
Do you waste a lot of money on tv infomercials selling kitchen appliances, hoping to find the ideal blender, steak knife, and frying pan?

It seemed like a dream A beautiful scream That echoed forever And made us not afraid to feel a thing
Our relationship felt surreal, like a delightful yet intense outburst that resonated profoundly, making us unafraid to experience emotions.

And after it ends We'll try to be friends They say that what doesn't kill us makes us who we are
When our love affair concludes, we will strive to maintain a platonic relationship, as they say that enduring through hardships shapes our identity.

All this time and everything's changed but I still feel the same
Although everything around me has changed over time, my feelings for you remain constant.

All good things eventually end and get washed down the drain
Pleasant and exciting experiences come to an eventual conclusion and are forgotten.

What a disaster it would be if you discovered that I cared A little too much for friends but not enough to share
It would be a catastrophe if you realized that I had excess feelings of affection for you, to a point where it jeopardizes our friendship, yet not sufficient to initiate more intimate relations.

It had to be you. It had to be you. It had to be you. I knew it was you.
You are the one that fate has chosen for me, and I have always known it subconsciously.
