The One
Vanessa Carlton


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 kind of sad now that it's done,
And you think our times were free,
And all the ways you say to me,
Sweet versions of 'Lets wait and see'.

But your always a golden boy, and,
I'm the girl that you enjoy,
My parents say isn't he a gifted son.
Time has always passed me by,
And still I have to wonder why,
You can't come to tell me, that 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.

So gravity can bend time,
For me I always liked your mind,
But this whole thing is crushing me.

But your always a golden boy, and,
In this girls 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.

Say your scared, get to close,
Come lets see, how it goes,
I see you now, at the show,
7th in the 7th row.
Now when you look at me,
I see what I've known for so long,
Sad that you could be so lovely and, so wrong.

Come to say, that I moved,
I see your face, You don't aprove,
I guess you could say that I'm already gone.

But you'll always be my golden boy, I'm,
The summer girl that you enjoyed,
Some melodies are best left undone,
I feel the times pass away,
But in my songs you'll, always stay,
I don't need for you to tell me, that I'm the one.
I don't need for you to tell me, that I'm the one.
You never know that I was
the one.
