Over forty years behind, even less time ahead, when fate had a deadline to drift them instead.
Why so many years to generate magic? A new romantic connection could turn their love tragic.
A moment in time when they tenderly kissed, locked in a memory that is so sadly missed.
So hard to stay platonic when you yearn for much more,
If time took us back, we'd never find that closed door!
CHORUS:
Can't find your way back to a hopeless repair,
Fate sent us a message to leave it there!
Cannot recapture, can't renovate,
If there's hope for the future, it's in the hands of fate!
***************************
The old road traveled had reached a dead end,
Can't be locked in your arms to be released as a friend,
Hopeful for promise of what's meant to be,
To reunite a love meant for you and me.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Conjuring fantasies, conjuring dreams,
Reality tarnished with nothing but schemes,
Perceptions of honesty can be an illusion, through rose-colored glasses of blind confusion!
Mixed signals can turn into false hope,
Don't know what to believe--or how you can cope,
Mixed signals, then you need to dial back,
Speeding train of hope was derailed off the track!
CHORUS:
Changed your dynamics when you changed your tune,
Handing out pipe dreams when you shot for the moon,
You're first in line for an academy award,
You struck at feelings when you struck the wrong chord!
************************************
You put your best foot forward to step in a crack,
It's already out there so you can't take it back,
Sending wrong messages and crossing the line,
You should've owned it before it was mine!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Whatever brought us from there to here?
Geographically far, but dramatically near,
Few words are spoken when we have the chance, leaving it up to raw circumstance!
Should've done this, when we could've done that,
Balls in your court, but you aren't up at bat!
Always the question in your mind of "what if?" Down in the valley, should look up at the cliff!
CHORUS:
Destiny's plan may not be ours to decide,
Don't take the wheel when it's just a free ride,
End of the story is what's meant to be,
But dreams can still come true for you and me.
***********************
Daydreams are short, but the nights can be longer,
When dreams come alive, they couldn't be any stronger!
Years go faster and can slip from your hand,
If there's a way to rewrite it, alter destiny's plan!
(REPEAT CHORUS)

(REPEAT CHORUS)
Clock took a freefall- dream was amiss, magical hopes straight into abyss,
Time hit the tracks like a speeding train, never could catch it without any gain!
What if it got off to a really good start? No need to recapture a fugitive heart!
CHORUS:
Can't grasp it! The essence of time,
Magical moments that turn on a dime,
Can't grasp it! Don't have enough grip,
Ship had sailed before a dynamic trip!
******************
Follow those wishes, follow your hunch,
Don't let time beat you to the punch!
Relive the memories that slipped through the crack,
When moments are over, you can't get them back!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Blowing up phones with flirtatious desires, crossing lines while igniting fires,
Making hearts sing above the clouds, while your endearment admissions are never out loud!
Why step forward to forge a connection, when you're off in the distance searching for your reflection? Your ego is far from the latest sensation, when feelings aren't taken into consideration!
CHORUS: The guessing-game card should never be in the deck, but honesty on the table and emotions in check,
You may need your time to be missing in action, but life's not about your soul satisfaction!
**********
What makes you believe that love will be waiting, when distance and apathy is all you're creating?
When you're up on your pedestal, she should be on her throne,
Or one day you'll be sorry when you end up alone!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Through destiny and fate souls will immerse, to strengthen the powers of our universe,
Staring out at the horizon, hopeful for what's meant to be, to bond the energy between you and me.
Fate solves puzzles in ways we'd never expect, a roundabout journey that's never direct,
Uniting strangers, reuniting friends, not by chance, but what fate transcends!
CHORUS:
The universe will conquer distance and space, and blend our chemistry in destiny's place,
Trust the intensity and enchanting reflection,
In the universal realm of a fateful connection! ***
A meeting by chance, ignited introduction,
Guided by time and fate's instruction,
Our souls and hearts will forever converse,
When we believe in the powers of the universe!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
A massive formation of iron and steel, there's nothing as grand as our Ferris wheel! Can reach for the sky, the most iconic of rides, to share it with love and you by my side.
Our dual energy will resonate, imagine the memories that we can create, to reach for the stars as we escalate, with the thrill of the drop we anticipate!
CHORUS:
Our Ferris wheel plummets at 10 miles per hour, our gravity and force will ignite the power, enjoying the minutes while enjoying the view, a hundred feet in the air in skies so blue! ***
Waiting in line is worth every minute, can't ride the Ferris wheel without you in it; glorious ride to the very top, with that gust of warm wind that makes our hearts stop!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
All about ego, the master flirt- disregards feelings, oblivious on hurt, no plans for love or undying devotion; priority's himself - no other emotion!
CHORUS:
What is your end game, and what have you learned? Keep lighting fires and you will get burned! There comes a time you'll bark up the wrong tree,
And love will be blinded when you never did see! ***
She prefers to walk than taken on your ride, why inflate your ego to be pushed aside? You'll never be honest, and you'll never be true,
When you think that the world revolves around you!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
