Vanessa Carlton - The One lyrics

rate me

oliday, and I've come home

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

Feel kind of sad now that it's done

You think my time's for free

In all the ways you say to me

"Sweet versions of lets wait and see"

But 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

And still I have to wonder why

You can't come and 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

See gravity can bend the time

Funny I always liked your mind

But this whole thing is crushing me

Well you're always a golden boy

In this girl's heart that you destroyed

You smile at me and then you have your fun

Time is always passing by

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 him now, at the show

7th in the 7th row

And now you look at me

And see what I've known for so long

It's sad that you can be

So lovely, yet so wrong

Came to say, that I've moved

I see your face, you don't approve

Guess you could say that I'm already gone

Well you'll always be a golden boy

I'm the summer girl that you enjoy

Some melodys are best left un--

I feel the time pass away

But in my songs you'll aways stay

Don't need for you to tell me I'm the one

Oh, no, no, don't need for you to tell me

I'm the one

You'll never know that I was

The one
