[(1)]Fumbling his confidence and
wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bent for more than
Arguments and failed attempts to fly
[(2)]We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
[(2)]We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside (3)
[(1)]Dreaming about providence and
Whether mice or men get second tries
Maybe we've been living with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken
[(2)]We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
[(2)]We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside (intro)
[(4)]We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more that the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life
[(5)]We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live (intro)
