Little Things

You're on the phone
With your girlfriend
She's upset
She's going off about
Something that you said
She doesn't get your humor like I do

I'm in the room
It's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't 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 about the day
When you 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

Walking the streets
With you and your worn out jeans
I can't help thinking
This is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench
Thinking to my self
Hey, isn't this easy?

And you've got a smile
That could light up this whole time
I haven't seen it in a while
Since she brought you down
You say you're fine
I know you better than that
Hey what you doing
With a girl like that

She wears high heels
I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain
I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day
When you wake up aand 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
Standing by and waiting at your backdoor
All this time how could you not know baby
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
And I know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your backdoor
All this time how could you not know baby
You belong with me
You belong with me

You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe ?
You belong with me
You belong with me
