"It Wasn't Like We Hoped It Would Be" lyrics

Semisonic Lyrics

"It Wasn't Like We Hoped It Would Be"

We came here from so far away
It wasn't like we hoped it would be
The golden sun, the glittering waves
It wasn't like we hoped it would be

Nobody told us, nobody told us
What it was like to be free
It wasn't like we hoped it would be
It wasn't like we hoped it would be

The mountains rose over the plains
It wasn't like we hoped it would be

We finally came to the end of the trees
It wasn't like we hoped it would be

Nobody told us, nobody told us
What it was like to be free
It wasn't like we hoped it would be
It wasn't like we hoped it would be

We made a fire, had sex on the beach
It wasn't like we hoped it would be
It wasn't like we hoped it would be
