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 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 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
