You're on the phone with your girlfriend. She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
Cause she 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 music she doesn't like
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 about the day when you 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?
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 she brought you down
You say you're fine I know you better than that
Hey, what you doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain, and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That's 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?
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
Can't you 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?
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
