Somebody Like You Lyrics

He just turned 19, she's 22

Now he got laid off this afternoon

She's working part-time in a second-hand store

Stacking dreams like books on her bedroom floor

They burn the evening, smoking the dragon

'Cause in oblivion it feels like heaven

She said, "It's true, I've been

Waiting for somebody like you"

I let my guard down for a moment

Wherever you go, I'll be going too

I've been waiting

Waiting for somebody like you

For somebody like you

For somebody like you

She built her kingdom on a secret

Walls are falling down and mother's weeping

There's gotta be a way to turn invisible

Father's on his knees praying for miracles

While she is driving down to Georgia

With the sunset kissing her shoulders

God knows it's true, I've been

Waiting for somebody like you

When I was scared, washed-out, and lonely

I needed somebody to hold me

I let my guard down for a moment

Wherever you go, I'll be going too

I've been waiting

Waiting for somebody like you

I let my guard down for a moment

Wherever you go, I'll be going too

I've been waiting

Waiting for somebody like you

Wouh

For somebody like you

Oh, eternal silence

Nobody here to steal our time

Sunburnt skin and

There are no mountains we need to climb

If you go there, I will go there

Never look back 'cause we still got time

All of my life, I've been waiting

I've been waiting for somebody like you

For somebody like you

I let my guard down for a moment

Wherever you go, I'll be going too

I've been waiting

Waiting for somebody like you

I let my guard down for a moment

Wherever you go, I'll be going too

I've been waiting

Waiting for somebody like you
