The One       The One     Holiday and I come home  
I hope to see this boy I know  
I can'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 is for free  
In all the ways 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, 
Still, I give you another try  
And hope that you will see that I'm the one    
You say you're scared to get too close  
Come let's see how it goes  
I see you now at the show, 
The 7th in, 
The 7th row  
Now you look at me  
And see what I've known for so long  
Sad that you could be so lovely and so wrong    
Came to say that I moved,  
I see your face you don't approve  
Guess you could say that I'm already gone   
But you'll always be my golden boy  
And I'm the summer girl that you enjoy  
Some melodies are best left undone    
I feel the time pass away 
But in my songs you will always stay  
I don't need you to tell me I'm the one  
I don't need you to tell me I'm the one    
You'll never know that I was the one...    Vanessa Carlton          |
