I reside in 209, you're in 208
You moved in last friday night,
And i just couldn't wait
So i tried to call across the hall,
To ask you out someday
But a lineup formed outside your door, and i was way too late

Well i'd rather start off slow
This whole thing's like
Some sort of race
Instead of winning what i want
I'm sitting here in second place

Because somewhere
The one i wanna be with's
With somebody else
Oh god, i wanna be that
Someone that you're with
I wanna be that someone
That you're with
And i can talk about it all day long
'til i run out of breath
But i still wanna be that
Someone that you're with
I've got to be that
Someone that you're with
And i'm pacing by the phone
'cause i hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him
Somewhere and just about to kiss
God i wanna be that
Someone that you're with

Well i hear your favorite songs
You sing along with everyday
And i borrow things that
I don't need for conversation sake
Last night i heard your key,
It hit your lock at 4 am
Instead of being out with me
You must be out with them

Well i'd rather start off slow
This whole thing's like
Some sort of race
Instead of winning what i want
I'm sitting here in second place
Somewhere
The one i wanna be with's
With somebody else
Oh god, i wanna be that
Someone that you're with
And i can talk about it all day long
'til i run out of breath
But i still wanna be that
Someone that you're with
I've got to be that
Someone that you're with
And i'm pacing by the phone
'cause i hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him
Somewhere and just about to kiss
God i wanna be that someone that
I wanna to be that someone that
I’ve got to be that someone that you’re with
