You carried the cardboard boxes up and down
Lookin' for some excuse to stay around
Eighteen with a bullet
And so much left to learn
You'll find your home
You'll find your man
Things didn't turn out the way that you planned
Life sure has its cruel twists and turns
Maybe in some other universe
Maybe in some other life
We'll have a beautiful moment
But it wasn't meant to happen this time
Oh, but we're still dreamin'
(Still dreamin')
You took off your glasses and I didn't recognize you
You were so suddenly, utterly, beautiful
Back seat in a black car
There's so much left to learn
You'll find your home
You'll find your man
Things didn't turn out the way that you planned
Life sure has its cruel twists and turns
Maybe in some other universe
Maybe in some other life
We'll have a beautiful moment
But it wasn't meant to happen this time
Oh, but we're still dreamin'
(Still dreamin')
Maybe in some other universe
Maybe in some other life
We'll have a beautiful moment
But it wasn't meant to happen this time
Oh, but we're still dreamin'
(Still dreamin')
