Now as fall finds the trees Changing color shed their leaves Float away in the breeze And now I wish that it was me The reflection of me Can't be rippled, solid sea Try to push off the shore Tell me why I'd want to speak ♪ When I have time to myself I'd rather think about something else But I still try to believe The way things are is meant to be Sometimes inside a dream In the state I want to be Now I wake and I see This is my reality Turn around, try to face back towards the shore Only thing I see now is the slowly melting oar And the ships turn around and return themselves to the port But I know that it won't be me when you come back around ♪ Do you think about me? It's been so long now, I can't see But I still try to believe The way things are is meant to be Do you think about me? A crystal ball that I can't read 'Cause somehow all that I see Is a future with you next to me The way things are is meant to be The way things are is meant to be Way things are is meant to be
