It Is Not Meant To Be
Yearning for Connection: Tame Impala's Tale of Unrequited Love
Lyrics
I wanted her
I desired her
I wanted her
I desired her (repetition for emphasis)
But she doesn't like the life that I lead
She disapproves of the lifestyle I lead
She doesn't like the life that I lead
She disapproves of the lifestyle I lead (repetition for emphasis)
Doesn't like sand stuck on her feet
She dislikes having sand on her feet
Or sitting around smoking weed
She dislikes sitting around and smoking weed
I must seem more like a friend in need
I might come across more as a friend in need
And I boast that it is meant to be
I proudly claim that our connection is destined
But in all honesty
But to be completely truthful
I don't have a hope in hell
I have no chance whatsoever
I'm happy just to watch her move
I find joy simply in observing her movements
And in all honesty
And to be completely truthful
I don't have a hope in hell
I have no chance whatsoever
I'm happy just to watch her move
I find joy simply in observing her movements
And she doesn't like the friends that I make
She dislikes the friends I choose
Doesn't make friends for friendship's sake
I don't make friends just for the sake of friendship
She just gets bored sitting by the lake
She gets bored sitting by the lake
Her soul won't surface and her heart won't ache
Her soul remains untouched, and her heart doesn't feel pain
And I boast that it is meant to be
I proudly claim that our connection is meant to be
But, in all honesty
But, to be completely truthful
I don't have a hope in hell
I have no chance whatsoever
I'm happy just to watch her move
I find joy simply in observing her movements
And I thought they could cure his disease
I believed they could cure his ailment
But, in all honesty
But, to be completely truthful
He didn't have a hope in hell
He had no chance whatsoever
Now we'll never see him move
Now we'll never witness his movements
