I was in kohls the other day and I heard this song playing and I tried to catch one of the lines so I could download it later but I could not for the life of me find the name.
One of the lines, I hope I heard it right, was
"we could never see what never was"
It was a male singer, and it sounded like alt rock.

Hi, crazygirl13455,
How are you? Could this be West Indian Girl's "Miles From Monterey?" West Indian Girl is a rock band from Los Angeles who released their self-titled album in 2004. A line from "Miles From Monterey" is "We could never see what never is." The following is the complete song lyrics:

16 hours away... a bit too far from Monterey
Never mind the coastline
Need a dime to pay the phone
I can hear her say
All the lights are raining down.

I'm falling away, I'm falling in love
Come on, come on, come on, let it go

On a highway... rows & rows of tired lives
Miles from Monterey
Passing cars with broken hearts
I still hear her say

I'm falling away, I'm falling in love
Come on, come on, come on, let it go

The sunlight falls from orange to red
On the road to stars that chain together
We could never see what never is

I'm falling away, I'm falling in love
Come on, come on, come on, let it go

omg. Thank you so much. This was driving me insane =]

I'm very glad I could help. I know the feeling of remembering random lines from a song but not being able to figure out what song it is =P

Take care!
Victor Ly
