Vanessa Carlton - The One Lyrics

Holiday, and I've come home 
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 
Feel kind of sad now that it's done 

You think my time's for free 
In all the ways you say to me 
"Sweet versions of lets 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 passing by 
And still I have to wonder why 
You can't come and 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 

See gravity can bend the time 
Funny I always liked your mind 
But this whole thing is crushing me 

Well you're always a golden boy 
In this girl's heart that you destroyed 
You smile at me and then you have your fun 

Time is always passing 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 him 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 

Well you'll always be a golden boy 
I'm the summer girl that you enjoy 
Some melodys are best left un-- 

I feel the time pass away 
But in my songs you'll aways stay 
Don't need for you to tell me I'm the one 
Oh, no, no, don't need for you to tell me 
I'm the one 
You'll never know that I was 
The one
