Song Lyrics

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 kind of music 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 about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time.

If you can 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 awhile since he brought you down.
You say you're fine - I know you better than that.
Hey, what you doing with a dick like that?

I wear Toms and
He wears sneakers
He's banging your friend
Underneath the bleachers
I'm dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time.

If you can 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 you waiting at your backdoor.
All this time how could you not know, baby
You belong with me

Oh, I remember you were 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.
Think I know where you belong,
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 can 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 you 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
