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 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

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

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
