Somebody Like You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He just turned nineteen, she's twenty-two Now he got laid off this afternoon She's workin' part-time in a second-hand store Stackin' dreams like books on her bedroom floor They burn the evenin', smokin' the dragon 'Cause in oblivion, it feels like heaven She said, "It's true I been waitin' for somebody like you" [Chorus] I let my guard down for a moment Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too I've been waitin' Waitin' for somebody like you [Post-Chorus] For somebody like you For somebody like you [Verse 2] She built hеr kingdom on a secret Walls are fallin' down and mothеr's weepin' There's gotta be a way to turn invisible Father's on his knees, prayin' for miracles While she is drivin' down to Georgia With the sunset kissin' her shoulders God knows it's true I been waitin' for somebody like you [Pre-Chorus] When I was scared, washed-out, and lonely I needed somebody to hold me [Chorus] I let my guard down for a moment Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too I've been waitin' Waitin' for somebody like you I let my guard down for a moment Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too I've been waitin' Waitin' for somebody like you [Post-Chorus] (Woo) For somebody like you [Bridge] 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 waitin' I've been waitin' for somebody like you For somebody like you [Chorus] I let my guard down for a moment Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too I've been waitin' Waitin' for somebody like you I let my guard down for a moment Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too I've been waitin' Waitin' for somebody like you
