Vanessa Carlton - The One lyrics

Featuring backing vocals from Stevie Nicks Holiday, and I come home I hope to see this boy I know I, can't wait for us to be alone Flippin' 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 pa**ing 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 and then you have your fun Time is always pa**ing 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 7th in the 7th row And now you look at me And see what I've known for so long It's sad that you can be So lovely, yet 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 pa** 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
