You Belong With Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're on the phone with your boyfriend, he's upset
He's going off about something that you said
'Cause he doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in my room, it's a typical tuesday night
I'm listening to the kinds of bands he doesn't like
And he'll never know your story like I do
He wears jerseys
I wear t-shirts
He's team captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
You belong with me!
Walking the streets with you and 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?"
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since he brought you down
You say you're fine
I know you better than that
Hey, whatcha doin' with a dick like that?
I wear toms and
He wears sneakers
He's banging your friend
Underneath the bleachers
And I'm dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your backdoor
All this time how could you not know, baby
You belong with me
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 'bout to cry
I know your favorite songs
And you tell me 'bout your dreams
I think I know where you belong
I think I know it's with me
Why can't you just fucking see?
Why can't you just fucking see?
You belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your backdoor
All this time how could you not know, baby
You belong with me
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me
