I swear if this song existed in high school, it would have been my theme song.
I recently was going through an old photo album from my senior year of high school. As part of my memorabilia, I had saved the tags off the "Kiss the Seniors" good bye gifts that were sold by student council. They were bags of Hershey kisses, and we all bought them for each other. I discovered one from a girlfriend of mine, which read, "Will miss you next year. Sorry these aren't from {Insert name of first boyfriend here}". Cue the music for most of my wasted high school years pining over sed first boyfriend (If you can really call it that when you are 13). Around that same time this song came through my iPod speakers. There are portions of this song that are a pretty literal wording of how some of it went.
I am pretty sure that there are a lot of people out there with a similar tale. Of course, it all worked out the way it should have, but I still get a smile when I think about how silly this all seems in retrospect.
"You're on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do
I'm in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesnt like
And she'll never know your story like I do
But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you'll wake up and find
That what you're lookin 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
Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy?
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you'll 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
Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that?
You belong with me
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 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.
Can't you see that I'm the one who understand you?
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me"
