Meant to Be

It has nothing to do with the night we met
Because bar lights, they can be so deceiving
But when I became the princess in distress
You changed my tire and changed my feelings

Suddenly I belonged in your passenger
And suddently I belonged with you
In the moment you asked, "Can I come any closer?"
Is the moment in the dark that I knew
Yeah, I knew

I knew getting lost with you was better than safe anywhere else
I knew a slow dance and holding hands for no reason
I knew bar fights and dim lights and your truck late at night
Listening to Sammy Kershaw sing we were meant to be
Yeah, I knew we were meant to be

And on the weekend you'll drive hundreds of miles
Just so I can see you and not feel so alone
I'm always begging you to stay, you're always running late
But we both know this is better than the phone

When I wake in the night and you're holding me tight
I swear I can't stop staring at you
The way that you breathe, I want to remember everything
And in the dark I swear I knew
Yeah, I knew

I knew that a flat tire and some keys brought you to me
I knew dancing to Garth Brooks in my basement
I knew play fights and slow nights with movies and dim lights
Listening to Sammy Kershaw sing we were meant to be
Yeah, I knew we were meant to be
