The Decemberists - I Was Meant For The Stage Lyrics

Send "I Was Meant For The Stage" ringtone to your cell

I was meant for the stage

I was meant for the curtain.

I was meant to tread these boards

Of this much i am certain.

I was meant for the crowd

I was meant for the shouting.

I was meant to raise these hands

With quiet all about me. oh oh.

Mother please be proud.

Father be forgiven.

Even though you told me

'Son you'll never make a living.' oh oh.

From the floorboards to the fly

Here I was fated to reside.

And as I take my final bow

Was there ever any doubt?

And as the spotlights fade away

And you're escorted through the foyer

You will resume your callow ways

But I was meant for the stage.

The heavens at my birth

Intended me for stardom

Rays of light shone down on me

And all my sins were pardoned.

I was meant for applause.

I was meant for derision.

Nothing short of fate itself

Has affected my decision. oh oh.

From the floorboards to the fly

Here i was fated to reside.

And as I take my final bow

Was there ever any doubt?

And as the spotlights fade away

And you're escorted through the foyer

You will resume your callow ways

But I was meant for the stage.
