You could put my heart in a cardboard box
Stop my feet from falling when my body is lost
I want us to be what we are not
Can we be the lives that we forgot

No-one came, the ocean was burning
No-one came, the ocean was burning
No-one came, the ocean was burning
No-one came, the ocean was burning

We weren't meant for this world
We weren't meant for this world
We weren't meant for this world
We weren't meant for this world
We weren't meant for this world
We weren't meant for this world
We weren't meant for this world
We weren't meant for this world

Laying on our backs now we're laying in the sand
Everything we thought we loved we never really had
I guess I like to drink, I guess I like to fight
Can we be the tender hearts that I hold tonight?

No-one came, the ocean was burning
No-one came, the ocean was burning
No-one came, the ocean was burning
No-one came, the ocean was burning

We weren't meant for this world
We weren't meant for this world
We weren't meant for this world
We weren't meant for this world
We weren't meant for this world
We weren't meant for this world
We weren't meant for this world
We weren't meant for this world
