COULDN'T GET IT RIGHT

the difference between wonderin' and knowin'
might not mean anything at all
but when you figure out just where you're goin'
i hope you'll drop a line or give a call
i'd like to know that you're okay
that you found what you were looking for somewhere along the way
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;there'll be no you and me
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we just weren't meant to be
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we're just ships that pass in the night
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;apologies, abuses
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;alibis, excuses
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;try as hard as we might
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we couldn't get it right

i gave you little more than contradiction
a clever nonchalance, a casual smile
i guess i never asked with much conviction
that you consider hanging here a while
that's a lack of commitment that i regret
a huge chunk of stupid that i won't soon forget
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;there'll be no you and me...

Couldn't Get It Right
