Lyrics

Wasn’t Meant to Be
Lyrics by Ted Horrell

There’s a house down in the corner
That’s I’d always wished to see
Overgrown with windows boarded
What hidden treasures could there be?

Never had the nerve to visit
Fear outweighed my curiosity
I watched em knock it down last Tuesday
I guess it wasn’t meant to be

There’s a billboard at the bypass
From an election seven years ago
I guess somebody got a bargain
I wonder if he even knows

He was not declared the winner
He sank back to obscurity
Sometimes I drive by after dinner
And know it wasn’t meant to be

And now I wrestle with my journal
And drag some words upon the screen
If there’s a logic I can’t grasp it
I’m not sure what it even means

Some inspiration is infernal
And other times it’s heavenly
Sometimes it’s not one or the other
Sometimes it wasn’t meant to be
