You’re on the phone with your girlfriend, She’s upset She’s going off about something that you said She does’nt get your humour like I do
I’m in the room, its a typical Tuesday night I’m listening to the kind of music she does’nt like She’ll never know your story like I do
But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers Dreaming bout the day when you’ll wake up and find That what you’re looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you Been here all along so why can’t you see You belong with me.. You belong with me..
Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself Hey isn’t this easy?
And you’ve got a smile that could light up this whole town I have’nt seen it in a while, since she brought you down You say you find I know you better than that Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers Dreaming bout the day when you’ll wake up and find That what you’re looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you Been here all along so why can’t you see? You belong with me
Standin by, waiting at your back door All this time how could you not know that? You belong with me You belong with me
Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night I’m the one who makes you laugh when you know you’re about to cry I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams I think I know where you belong. I think I know it’s with me.
Can’t you see that I’m the one who understand you? Been here all along so why can’t you see? You belong with me
Standing by or waiting at your back door All this time how could you not know that You belong with me You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe You belong with me You belong with me
You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors It’s the morning of your very first day And you say hi to your friends you ain’t seen in a while Try and stay out of everybody’s way
It’s your freshman year and you’re gonna be here For the next four years in this town Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say “You know, I haven’t seen you around before”
‘Cause when you’re fifteen and somebody tells you they love you You’re gonna believe them And when you’re fifteen feeling like there’s nothing to figure out Well, count to ten, take it in This is life before you know who you’re gonna be Fifteen
You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail And soon enough you’re best friends Laughing at the other girls who think they’re so cool We’ll be outta here as soon as we can
And then you’re on your very first date and he’s got a car
And you’re feeling like flying
And you’re momma’s waiting up and you’re thinking he’s the one And you’re dancing ’round your room when the night ends When the night ends
‘Cause when you’re fifteen and somebody tells you they love you You’re gonna believe them When you’re fifteen and your first kiss Makes your head spin ’round But in your life you’ll do things greater than Dating the boy on the football team But I didn’t know it at fifteen
When all you wanted was to be wanted Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now
Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday But I realized some bigger dreams of mine And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy Who changed his mind and we both cried
‘Cause when you’re fifteen and somebody tells you they love you You’re gonna believe them And when you’re fifteen, don’t forget to look before you fall I’ve found time can heal most anything And you just might find who you’re supposed to be I didn’t know who I was supposed to be at fifteen
Your very first day Take a deep breath girl Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors
Today was a fairytale You were the prince I used to be a damsel in distress You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six
Today was a fairytale. Today was a fairytale.. Today was a fairytale I wore a dress You wore a dark grey t-shirt You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess Today was a fairytale Time slows down whenever you’re around
But can you feel this magic in the air It must have been the way you kissed me Fell in love when I saw you standing there It must have been the way Today was a fairytale It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale Today was a fairytale You’ve got a smile that takes me to another planet Every move you make everything you say is right Today was a fairytale Today was a fairytale All that I can say is it’s getting so much clearer Nothing made sense until the time I saw your face Today was a fairytale Time slows down whenever you’re around (Yeah yeah)
But can you feel this magic in the air It must have been the way you kissed me Fell in love when I saw you standing there It must have been the way Today was a fairytale It must have been the way Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you’re around I can feel my heart It’s beating in my chest Did you feel it? I can’t put this down
But can you feel this magic in the air It must have been the way you kissed me Fell in love when I saw you standing there It must have been the way
But can you feel this magic in the air It must have been the way you kissed me Fell in love when I saw you standing there It must have been the way Today was a fairytale It must have been the way Today was a fairytale
