Twenty Twelve · Lyrics

You had everything planned out
You had it all designed
But fate can be a cruel girl
When she isn’t on your side

And you’ve been living for the moment
As if the future’s not defined
It’s like your plane’s about to take off
And you might not make the flight

Does your fate get carved upon your palm upon the day that you get born?
Is it spelled out in the stars, is it beating in your blood?
Can you feel it in the water, or is it blowing in the wind?
Is it written on the land here, under the illusion of free will?

Oh oh oh
Is this what I’m meant to be, oh?
Have all my efforts here been wasted?

You’ve been going it alone now
So long it’s left you blind
Just like she left you at the altar
And she never said goodbye

Because you thought you’d see some signal
Before you reached the end of the line
It’s like your train just left the station
Leaving all your shit behind

Does your fate get carved upon your palm upon the day that you get born?
Is it spelled out in the stars, is it beating in your blood?
Can you feel it in the water, or is it blowing in the wind?
Is it written on the land here, under the illusion of free will?

Oh oh oh
Is this what I’m meant to be, oh?
Have all my efforts here been wasted?

Don’t tell me it’s just coincidence
When I can hear the real world rhyme
Serendipity’s just reality whispering
That you got the words right

When I could spend every godsent moment
Trying to change the track
And then a black cat could cross my path
Then a black cat could cross my path
Then a black cat could cross my path
And send me back

Oh oh oh
Is this what I’m meant to be, oh?
Have all my efforts here been wasted?

Oh oh oh
Is this what I’m meant to be?
Have all my efforts here been wasted, oh?
Is this my destiny?
Is this my destiny?
Is this my destiny?
