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.
