you're on the phone with your boyfriend, he's upset
he's going off about something you said
he doesn't get your humour like i do
i'm at a bar, it's a typical tuesday night
i'm listening to the kind of music nobody likes
and he'll never know your story like i do
but he wears * socks, i wear tshirts
he's team captain and i'm on the bleachers
dreaming about the day you'll wake up and find
that what you're looking for was here all the 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 in your cut off jeans
i can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
laughing on the park bench thinking to myself
hey isn't this easy?
and you've got a smile that can light up this whole town
i haven't seen it in awhile, since he brought you down
you say you find i know you better than that
hey whatcha doin with a guy like that?
he wears high heels i wear sneakers
he's team captain and i'm on the bleachers
dreaming about the day you'll wake up and find
that what you're looking for was here all the 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 just waiting at your back door
all this time how could you not know baby?
you belong with me
you belong with me
oh i remember driving to your 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 favourite songs and you tell me about your dreams
i think i know where you belong
i think i know it's with me
standing by just waiting at your back door
all this time how could you not know baby?
you belong with me
you belong with me
you belong with me
you belong with me
