The story you told yourself was not what came to be
I should have known you'd see differently from me
When I thought about the lies you tell, it opened up my eyes as well to see
I'm not your meant-to-be
When we were out your eyes stayed locked all night on mine
That heady rush left me a bit less disinclined
To go further than I thought I should, you know my heart's not made of wood, but see
I'm not your meant-to-be
I was your confidante
(She didn't know how much you wanted more)
And when you thought of me, you got the wrong idea
(And you ignored the love she had before)
You don't even know you
How then can you know me
Stop living in your world of make-believe
The story you told yourself was not what came to be
I should have known you'd see differently from me
When I thought about the lies you tell, it opened up my eyes as well to see
I'm not your meant-to-be
No, no, never, I'm not your meant-to-be
No, no, never, I'm not your meant-to-be
No, no, never, I'm not your meant-to-be
No, no, never, I'm not your meant-to-be

Nick Piunti's third album confirms the idiosyncratic talent of this musician who keeps churning out fantastic power-pop tunes that would rejoice even the most jaded pop-rock fan, whether young or old, if they knew about the existence of 'Beyond the Static'. POPPHIL
