Destiny
Rich Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Write a thousand melodies
But that just don't matter
When you're the missing key
To all the love songs I sing
When I'm alone
What if we are more than parallel lines?
I'll still run to you always
What if you are my destiny?
What if you are my destiny?
You can put us oceans far apart
I'll calm the seas just to sail to you
Take a flight across the universe
Even under another sky
I will find you
Should I qustion my sanity?
What if we were meant to be
Two worlds collide
Yeah, I want you here next to me
Not parallel lines
But an ocean of ecstasy
You're taking me high
But I'm saying that breathlessly
I know it feels right
May-maybe you are my destiny
What if you are my destiny?
