Welcome to a new kind of tension All across the alienation Where everything isn't meant to be okay Television dreams of tomorrow We're not the ones who're meant to follow For that's enough to argue Don't wanna be an American idiot Don't want a nation

falling in love with you. Like a river flows, surely to the sea; darling so it goes, some things are meant to be. Take my hand; take my whole life, too. For I can't help, Wise man say

Might take too long That you are all you're meant to be When the one from my dream Is sitting right next to me And I don't know what to do Oh alter ego Said the voice from afar "Don't you know it doesn't Have to be so hard Waiting for Everyone else

It's like one step forward and two steps back No matter what I do you're always mad Maybe we're not meant to be And I, I can't change your mind I know it's like trying to turn around on a one way street I can't give you what you want And it's killing me

Tear me open, I believe God will set you up to bleed And no one can deceive What is meant to be And bloody murder we will scream God will set you up to tear me open I'm not quite myself these days Guess we all come undone Time to time, in different ways

Some things fall when they're meant to fall Don't give me more than I can handle This is not like it was before Baby I'm not afraid And you can see everything Don't give me more than I can take Oh hell just give me all you've got in every way It's not

I heard every word you said And trying hard to understand Exactly what it is, you need, from me Baby I apologize I never meant to make you cry But there ain't no doubt, we can work it out yeah Cause I'm gonna be around Don't worry baby

Only for you (Only for you) Put another 'x' on the calendar Summer's on it's deathbed There is simply nothing worse than knowing how it ends And I meant everything I said that night I will come back to life But only for you (But only for you)

I see who you are and who else can compare I meant what I said I promised to stand by your side Until the end That's where we begin From here to eternity We begin understanding It is our hearts that define What has meaning in life

I don't wanna know about your new man 'Cause if it was meant to be You wouldn't be callin' me up tryin' to 'Cause I'm positive that he don't wanna know about me We'll get there eventually I know you're missin' all this kind of love But I'm positive that
