Jewel - You Were Meant For Me Lyrics
Official




I hear the clock, it's 6 AM
+
I feel so far from where I've been
+
I got my eggs, I got my pancakes too
+
I got my maple syrup, everything but you
+
I break the yolks and make a smiley face
+
I kinda like it in my brand new place
+
Wipe the spots off of the mirror
+
Don't leave the keys in the door
+
I never put wet towels on the floor anymore 'cause
+
Dreams last so long
+
Even after you're gone
+
I know that you love me
+
And soon you will see
+
You were meant for me
+
And I was meant for you
+
I called my mama, she was out for a walk
+
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk
+
So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news
+
More hearts being broken or people being used
+
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
+
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same
+
'Cause it was happy or I was sad
+
And it made me miss you oh so bad 'cause
+
Dreams last so long
+
Even after you're gone
+
I know that you love me
+
And soon you will see
+
You were meant for me
+
And I was meant for you
+
I go about my business, I'm doing fine
+
Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line?
+
Same old story, not much to say
+
Hearts are broken every day
+
I brush my teeth, I put the cap back on
+
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
+
I pick up a book up and then I turn the sheets down
+
And then I take a deep breath, a good look around
+
Put on my pj's and hop into bed
+
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
+
I try and tell myself it'll all be alright
+
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause
+
Dreams last so long
+
Even after you're gone
+
And I know that you love me
+
And soon you will see
+
You were meant for me
+
And I was meant for you
+
Yeah, you were meant for me
+
And I was meant for you
+

(Show video at the top of the page)


"You Were Meant for Me" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Jewel, released on her first album, Pieces of You (1995). It was written by Jewel and Steve Poltz. It describes a failed relationship and the narrator's inadequate attempts at moving on with her life.

"You Were Meant for Me" was released as the second single from Pieces of You. It reached number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks, and number one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart for a single week. In 1997, a reissue of the single containing the unreleased "Foolish Games" allowed the song to rebound to number seven on the Hot 100, eventually totaling 65 weeks in the top 100, which at the time was a record. "You Were Meant for Me" reached number three in Australia, number two in Canada and number 32 in the United Kingdom.

"Foolish Games" / "You Were Meant for Me" ranked at number 15 on Billboard's "All Time Top 100" list in 2008. When the All Time chart was retabulated for the chart's 55th anniversary in 2013, it remained in the top 20 at number 17. The song was also re-recorded for Jewel's Greatest Hits album with backing vocals from the country trio Pistol Annies.
