You're on the phone with your girlfriend
She's upset, she's going off about something that you said
Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do.
I sighed only in my head and faked a smile on the outside.
When Kevin said, "I have to take this", and stood up from my side, ignoring our algebra homework, I was truly saddened.
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listen to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do
I giggled watching you try to entertain me for the night.
"Kevin, Taylor Swift lip synching is really not your thing"
You gave me a suspicions look, "No," you shook his head in a joking way, "I think you are so wrong."
I giggled some more and agreed, "Okay, okay, your music, and Taylor's music" I crossed my fingers over the top of each other, "like this."
"Yes, that's what I thought."
But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer caption and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
I wave bye to Kevin as you grabbed her hand, nodding back to me,with a mountainous grin.
Her skirt clings to her upper thighs like it was glued there and I stretch my overly sized band t-shirt to below the level of the button on my jeans.
I head to biology and day dream about the song you played to me last night.
I wish it was for me.
I thought and imagined if you did write it for me.
I know everything about you
She knows nothing.
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been her all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
You belong with me
Thought every single day, wondered how could you not tell you belonged with me.
Not her.
Daydream after daydream.
Conversation after conversation.
Day after day.
I gazed at you and treated you as if he hung the moon.
And nothing.
I was just your best friend.
Walk the streets with you in your worn out jeans.
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself, hey isn't this easy.
I think to myself, as you prove to me you can climb to the tip top of the highest tree branch, how normal this is, for me.
To just sit here laugh, walk with you,watch you as you act like a fool.
Do you not see how perfect this is?
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say your fine, I know you better then that.
Hey what you doing with a girl like that
Your eyes twinkle when you grin.
Your smile could light up a freakin' dark age, if we were to have one.
Not once, am I cold around you.
Well, unless the ice queen walks up.
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer caption and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
Damn, if I were to wear those ugly high heel, I would have blisters and make a face plant.
I rubbed my eyes, and you say you'll sit with me during the pep rally, but was going to walk her to the girls dressing room.
Provably kiss you for about forever in front of all the girls, causing jealous to arise in their eye, as would mine if I were to be there.
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been her all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
You stand up the whole time screaming, smiling for her, as she is obviously flirting with the bulky football player standing quite close to her.
Eyeing her up and down.
But, I don't have the heart to tell you that.
Standing by waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know baby
You belong with me
You belong with me
I leave because ice queen arrives in a couple minutes and I really don't want to see her, much less talk to her.
The game in a few and you're going to watch her cheer/ watch the game.
It's a good thing you were partly watching the game because even Kevin might notice her hands all over the quarterback.
Oh, I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong, I think I know it's with me
My Mom gave me a crazy look when she let you in that Friday night, knowing my feelings about you.
I just held you in my arms as I turned on John Mayors 3 by 5, your favorite, and you told he about your dreams about being a lead guitarist, as I had heard may times.
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you
Been her all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
I nod, trying not to be to synthetic with my mixed feelings.
One feeling is so upset. You where so broken, it really pains me just as much as it does you.
Standing by waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know baby
You belong with me
Then two, the one that kills me.
They are broken up.
You belong with me
Maybe, just maybe, I have a chance.
You belong with me
On the following Tuesday, I spread out the notes we took in geography.
Have you ever thought just maybe...
We read, and talk a little
You belong with me
Then I put on the fake smile.
You belong with me
And roll my eyes when you turn away.
love is blind so you couldn't see me
