lyrics

Remember when we said,
"Let's go to Argentina?"
I can't even count those nights
we spent lying there and dreaming
'bout the perfect life we'd have.
We were sure that all we needed
was you and me, a little beach,
and lots of different fishes.

I don't know if I ever really believed
it was more than just something that we were dreaming,
but the more that we talked it seemed
the closer we got
to our beach in Argentina.

We had it all planned out.
We'd open up a cafe.
Serving drinks all day to keep the banks at bay,
and spend all our nights relaxing.
If the cafe fails, who cares?
I'll play my guitar in the street.
If we can't afford the rent,
we'll pitch a tent out on the beach.

I guess I should have known that something so perfect
could never really be, but who would have guessed that
between you and me, the cafe, the tent, the beach and the fishes,
It was you and I that couldn't be.
It was you and I that wouldn't belong
On our beach in Argentina.

The best laid plans often go awry!
The best laid plans often go awry!
The best laid plans often go awry,
And it was you and I, you and I,
you and I that wouldn't belong
on our beach in Argentina.

Even tough I killed our dream
that doesn't mean that it was easy.
I'm dying to believe it could still be our reality.
Mirages look so real when seen from a distance,
but the closer they get the faster they fade.

Now I'm lying all alone, but it doesn't stop me from dreaming
About the perfect life we had when we were all that we needed.
Maybe I'll see you someday.
Life's funny that way.
Maybe I'll see you someday...

Maybe I'll see you someday
on our beach in Argentina.
