Strum
D-DU-UDU
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
feel  kind of sad now that it's done
and  you think my times were free
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 isnt 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
in  this girl's heart that you destroy
you  smile at me then  have your fun
time  is always passing  by
still  I give you another  try
and  hope that you will see  that im the one
you  say your scared
 to get too close
 come lets see  how it goes
I  see you now  at the show
 The 7th in  the 7th row
now  you look  at me
and  see what I've  known for so  long
sad  that you  can be so lovely and  so wrong
came  to say that I've moved
I  see your face you dont approve
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 time pass away
but  in my songs you'll always stay
I  don't need you to tell  me I'm the one
I  don't need you to tell  me I'm the one.
 you'll never  know that  I was the one.
