It Wasn't Like We Hoped It Would Be Song Lyrics It Wasn't Like We Hoped It Would Be by Semisonic 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
