If I’m not the one you want
Take your time to figure out
I’m staring at your picture every night
The scent of you still lingers in my mind
I wonder if you’ll only feel alright
And the sun has come out of the clouds
And sometimes when I listen to our song
The night seems so cold and far too long
I want to call you up ’cause in the end
I keep writing letters to my garbage can
Lately it feels like I’m goin’ crazy
Baby come and lay down beside me
If I’m not the one you want
Who’s he
Take your time to figure out
You’ll see
If I’m not the one you want
Then maybe
I’ll be the one you need
I feel like it’s on you I can depend
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Enough of building castles in the sand
Why can’t we be forever
Lately it feels like I’m goin’ crazy
Baby come and lay down beside me
If I’m not the one you want
Then who’s he
Take your time to figure out
You’ll see
If I’m not the one you want
Then maybe
I’ll be the one you need
If I’m not the one you want
Then who’s he
Take your time to figure out
You’ll see
If I’m not the one you want
Then maybe
I’ll be the one you need
Somewhere, in the back of my mind
I know that you will be mine
Somehow, I wish I could rewind
Leave all the worries behind
If I’m not the one you want, I’ll be the one you need
Take your time to figure out
I’ll be the one you need
If I’m not the one you want
Then who’s he
Take your time to figure out
And you’ll see
If I’m not the one you want
Then maybe
I’ll be the one you need
I’ll be the one you need
