Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I reside in 209, you're in 208
You moved in last Friday night
And I just couldn't wait
So I tried to call across the hall to ask you out someday
But a lineup formed outside your door
And I was way too late
[Verse 2]
Well, I'd rather start off slow
This whole thing's like some sort of race
Instead of winning what I want, I'm sitting here in second place
[Verse 3]
Because somewhere the one I want to be with's with somebody else
Oh God, I want to be that someone that you're with
(I want to be that someone that you're with)
And I can talk about it all day long till I run out of breath
But I still want to be that someone that you're with
I've got to be that someone that you're with
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him somewhere, just about to kiss
God, I want to be that someone that you're with
[Verse 4]
Well, I hear your favorite songs you sing along with everyday
And I borrow things that I don't need for conversation's sake
Last night I heard your key, it hit your lock at 4 AM
Instead of being out with me, you must be out with him
[Verse 5]
Well, I'd rather start off slow
This whole thing's like some sort of race
Instead of winning what I want, I'm sitting here in second place
[Verse 6]
Because somewhere the one I want to be with's with somebody else
Oh God, I want to be that someone that you're with
(I want to be that someone that you're with)
And I can talk about it all day long till I run out of breath
But I still want to be that someone that you're with
(I've got to be that someone that you're with)
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him somewhere, just about to kiss
Oh God, I want to be that someone that you're with
[Verse 7]
Well, the one I want to be with's with somebody else
Oh God, I want to be that someone that you're with
And I can talk about it all day long till I run out of breath
But I still want to be that someone that you're with
I've got to be that someone that you're with
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him somewhere, and just about to kiss
But God, I've got to be that someone that-
I want to be that someone that-
I've got to be that someone that you're with
