Somebody Like You

He just turned nineteen, she's twenty-two

Now he got laid off this afternoon

She's workin' part-time in a second-hand store

Stackin' dreams like books on her bedroom floor

They burn the evenin', smokin' the dragon

'Cause in oblivion, it feels like heaven

She said, "It's true

I been waitin' for somebody like you"

I let my guard down for a moment

Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too

I've been waitin'

Waitin' for somebody like you

For somebody like you

For somebody like you

She built her kingdom on a secret

Walls are fallin' down and mother's weepin'

There's gotta be a way to turn invisible

Father's on his knees, prayin' for miracles

While she is drivin' down to Georgia

With the sunset kissin' her shoulders

God knows it's true

I been waitin' for somebody like you

When I was scared, washed-out, and lonely

I needed somebody to hold me

I let my guard down for a moment

Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too

I've been waitin'

Waitin' for somebody like you

I let my guard down for a moment

Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too

I've been waitin'

Waitin' for somebody like you

(Woo)

For somebody like you

Oh, eternal silence

Nobody here to steal our time

Sunburnt skin and

There are no mountains we need to climb

If you go there, I will go there

Never look back 'cause we still got time

All of my life, I've been waitin'

I've been waitin' for somebody like you

For somebody like you

I let my guard down for a moment

Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too

I've been waitin'

Waitin' for somebody like you

I let my guard down for a moment

Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too

I've been waitin'

Waitin' for somebody like you
