He's just turned 19, he's 32 Now he got laid off this afternoon He's working part time, his second hand's sore He's taking dreams like books on the bedroom floor He burned a key list, told him to drag it He said, oblivion, it feeds 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 Cause I've been waiting, waiting for somebody like you She built a kingdom on the secret Words are falling down and mother's weeping There's gotta be a way to turn invisible Father's on his knees praying for miracles We see us driving down to Georgia With the sunset kissing his shoulders God knows it's true, I've been waiting for somebody like you When I was scared, washed out and lonely I knew boy, that somebody knew I let my guard down for a moment, wherever you go I'll be going too Cause 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 Cause I've been waiting, waiting for somebody like you Eternal, silent, nobody here to steal our time Sunburned, skinned and there are no mountains we need to climb If you go there, I will go there, never look back Cause we've still got time, all of my life I've been waiting, I've been waiting for somebody like you One more time I let my guard down for a moment, wherever you go I'll be going too Cause 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
