I had a relationship gone bad that was so good before the breakup. It's a reflection of my mood after the breakup and we were 500 miles apart. The good news is we eventually worked it out and we're still together!

Lyrics
That Wasn't In Our Plans - Alternate Lyric
© 2012 Alan D. David, BMI
(v1)
We talked about all the years ahead
And we ignored what the all doubters said
We'd party on the beach, Casablanca later on
We owned the world till everything went wrong
CHORUS
The morning dew, the twilight glow, the ocean and the sands
We had the world in our grasp right there in our hands
But there you are and here I am
That wasn't in our plans
INSTRUMENTAL VERSE
(v2)
Our dreams were big we wanted everything
No holding back, take all the world would bring
Love filled the air, it hovered all around
Till one day it all came crashing down
REPEAT CHORUS
The morning dew, the twilight glow, the ocean and the sands
We had the world in our grasp right there in our hands
But there you are and here I am
That wasn't in our plans
BRIDGE
Then right before our eyes it somehow fell apart
Miles between us now as we're patching up our hearts
REPEAT CHORUS
The morning dew, the twilight glow, the ocean and the sands
We had the world in our grasp right there in our hands
But there you are and here I am
That wasn't in our plans
