Youre on the phone
With your girlfriend
Shes upset
Shes going off about
Something that you said
cause she doesnt get your humor
Like I do

Im in the room
Its a typical Tuesday night
Im listening to the kind of music
She doesnt like
Shell never know your story
Like I do

But she wears short skirts
I wear t-shirts
Shes cheer captain
And Im on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day
When you wake up and find
That what youre looking for
Has been here the whole time

If you could see
That Im the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So why cant you
See you belong with me
You belong with me.

Walking the streets
With you and your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking
This is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench
Thinking to myself
Hey, isnt this easy?

And youve got a smile
That could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in awhile
Since she brought you down
You say youre fine
I know you better than that
Hey what you doing
With a girl like that

She wears high heels
I wear sneakers
Shes cheer captain
Im on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day
When you wake up and find
That what youre looking for
Has been here the whole time

If you could see
That Im the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So why cant you
See you belong with me
Standing by and
Waiting at your backdoor
All this time
How could you not know
Baby
You belong with me
You belong with me.

Instrumental

Oh, I remember
You driving to my house
In the middle of the night
Im the one who makes you laugh
When you know youre about to cry
And I know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know its with me

Cant you see
That Im the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So why cant you see?
You belong with me.

Have you ever thought
Just maybe
You belong with me?
