  • You and me, were meant to be,
    Walking free, in harmony,
    One fine day, we'll fly away,
    Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day,
    Hey hey hey.

    In this day and age it's so easy to stress,
    'Cause people act strange and you can never second guess,
    In order to love, child, we got to be strong,
    I'm caught in the cross fire,
    Why can't we get a long.

    'Cause you and me, were meant to be,
    Walking free, in harmony,
    One fine day, we'll fly away,
    Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day,
    hey hey hey.

    I'm having a day dream, we are getting somewhere,
    I'm kissing your lips and running fingers through your hair,
    I'm as nervous as you, bout making it right,
    Well we know we were wrong, we can't give up the fight.
    (oh no)

    'Cause you and me, were meant to be,
    Walking free, in harmony,
    One fine day, we'll run away,
    Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day,
    Hey hey hey

    You and me
    Were meant to be
    Walking free
    In harmony
    One fine day
    We'll fly away
    Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day

    You and me (you and me)
    Were meant to be (meant to be)
    Walking free (walking free)
    In harmony (in harmony)
    One fine day (one fine day)
    We'll run away (we're gonna run away, run away)
    Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day

    You and me (you and me)
    Were meant to be (meant to be)
    Walking free (walking free)
    In harmony (in harmony)
    One fine day (one fine day)
    We'll run away (we're gonna run away, run away)
    Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day

    You and me (you and me)
    Were meant to be (meant to be)
    Walking free (walking free)
    In harmony (in harmony)
    One fine day (one fine day)
    We'll run away (we're gonna run away, run away)

  • Melinda from AustraliaLove this song. So 2000. It was pretty much a one hit wonder. But what a song.
    Love how it’s about building a relationship. That yes, there are fights. But it underlines in the lyrics that we both know we are meant to be together. So we have to hang on, and build trust. Slowly. All that uncertainty in relationships.
    Morcheeba never achieved a level of success in the charts after this song. Which is regrettable. Because they were/are really good.
