An ocean girl and a farm-bred boy
Always facing two sides of the coin
Ever strong, she would say: far too long to make up my mind
But these shots taken in the dark won’t rearrange this time
I know we tried
Couldn’t change inside
Every heart craves their Mona Lisa
We did the best we could
I’ll look back years from now, girl
And I’ll know we were good
A super-girl, a struggling boy
Built on fate and time, say goodbye
Ever strong, now your head hangs down. Saw it take shape in your eyes
Cause across the street or a world away, we were living separate lives
You know we tried
Couldn’t change inside
Every heart craves their Mona Lisa
We did the best we could
I’ll look back years from now, girl
And I’ll know we were good
Passing time, the shadows cast upon us
Circumstance or distance, meant to wrong us
Every heart craves their Mona Lisa
We did the best we could
I’ll look back years from now, girl
And I’ll know we were good
