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
And she'll never
Know your story like I do

She wears short skirts
I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreamin' 'bout the day
When you'll wake up
And find that what you're
Lookin' for has been here the whole time

CHORUS
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

Walk in the streets
With you in your worn out jeans
I can't help thinkin'
This is how it ought to be
Laughin' on a park bench
Thinkin' to myself
Hey, isn't this easy

And you've got a smile
That could light up
This whole town
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, watcha doin' with a girl like that?

She wears high heels
I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreamin' 'bout the day
When you'll wake up
And find that what you're
Lookin' for has been here the whole time

CHORUS
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
And waitin' at your back door
All this time
How could you not know, baby?
You belong with me
You belong with me

And 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 'bout to cry
I know your favorite songs
And you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me

CHORUS
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

Standin' by
And waitin' at your back door
All this time
How could you not know, baby?
You belong with me
You belong with me

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