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
