"the one"

i got to see this boy i know
i couldn't wait for us to be alone
flippin' through the radio
we sing along to the indie show
the songs they play mean more than i can say

and the tape i made you,
hope you think of me when it plays through
i'm kinda sad now that it's done
you think my time's for free
in all the ways that you say to me
sweet versions of "let's wait and see"

you're always a golden boy
and i'm the girl that you enjoy
my parents say, "isn't he a gifted son?"
time is always passing by
but still i have to wonder why
you can't come to tell me i'm the one

summer goes and we have grown
we have our friends, live on our own
still i'm not the girl you want me to be
say gravity can bend the time,
funny, i always liked your mind
but this whole thing is crushing me

but you're always a golden boy
and this girl's heart that you destroy
you smile at me and then you have your fun
time is always passing by
but still i give you another try
and hope that you will see i'm the one

you say you're scared to get too close,
come let's see how this goes
see what i've known for so long
sad that you could be so lovely and so wrong
