We planned out exactly what we'll do Explore together like those characters in the stories of our youth But it would never be us against the world Because they'll say we remind them of what it means to be alive Our bodies close as we search the Milky Way All of our worries begin to whither away We are a pattern amidst beautiful disarray But none of this was to ever be Or not yet at least Your words are a mantra in my head I wish things were different Your words are a mantra in my head I wish things were different We couldn't find the path to close the distance I'm so happy that you entered my life If for just an instant My heart is aching Honestly I'm spent I know we can't keep fooling ourselves And though I'm hurt I'm vacant of regret Your words are a mantra in my head I wish things were different Your words are a mantra in my head I wish things were different I wish things were different
