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

Flipping 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 my time’s for free

In 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

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

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

Seventh in the seventh row

And now you look at me

And see what I’ve known for so long

It’s sad that you can be

So love 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 a 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
