The One lyrics

Holiday and I come home

I hope to see this boy I know

I can't wait for us to be alone

Flipping through the radio

We sing along to the Indie show

The songs, they play me more than I can say

In 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 let's 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 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

This whole thing is crushing me

But you're always a golden boy

In this girl's heart that you destroyed

You smile at me and then 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

See you now at the show, 7th in the 7th row

Now you look at me

You see what I've known for so long

Sad that you could be so lovely and 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

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'll always stay

I don't need you to tell me I'm the one, no, no, no

I don't need you to tell me I'm the one

You'll never know that I was the one
