We planned out exactly what we'll do
Explore together like those characters in the stories of our youth
But it would never be us against the world
Because they'll say we remind them of what it means to be alive
Our bodies close as we search the Milky Way
All of our worries begin to whither away
We are a pattern amidst beautiful disarray
But none of this was to ever be
Or not yet at least
Your words are a mantra in my head
I wish things were different
Your words are a mantra in my head
I wish things were different
We couldn't find the path to close the distance
I'm so happy that you entered my life
If for just an instant
My heart is aching
Honestly I'm spent
I know we can't keep fooling ourselves
And though I'm hurt
I'm vacant of regret
Your words are a mantra in my head
I wish things were different
Your words are a mantra in my head
I wish things were different
I wish things were different
