Here you come along,
I take a breath and remind myself that I too can be strong
Thought I was cool, turns out I'm a fool
Clearly you've proved me wrong
I didn't know what I was missing when I was alone.
And now I'm fruitlessly waiting for
Someone not thinking before they start rushing to my door
Someone to run not walk
Oh, someone to sing not talk
Oh, no hesitiation at all
Sometimes I need you to be the one to call
Well im lost in my thoughts they tumble ahead
Over and over again, yeah it's true
Just take a look at what's been done to me
I wasted time to ponder
Here I am now, all Alice in Wonder
Partly I do this to myself but why can't you see
The gesture is small but know that it means the world to me
Oh, forgive me for wanting, I'm only learning life
Forgiven myself and now, there's no returning
I want to be the one who knows the best way
I want to be the one who knows the best way
I want to be the one who knows the best way to love you
But now I'm foolishly waiting for
Someone not thinking before they start rushing to my door
Someone to run not walk
Oh, someone to sing not talk
Oh, no hesitation at all
Sometimes I need you to be the one to call
I need you to be the one
I need you to be the one
I need you to be the one
Note: I think the G* she uses is a weird variation that I can't seem to find, but
this is close enough for now.
If you have a correction, please put it in the comments and I'll edit, thanks.
