VERSE

Holiday and I come home 

I hope to see this boy I know 
                       
I can't wait for us to be alone 

flipping through the radio 

we sing along to the indie show 
                                     
the songs they play mean more than i can say 


And the tape I made you 

hope you think of me when it plays through 
                                      
feel kind of sad now that it's done 

and you think my times were free 

all the ways you say to me 
                               
sweet versions of let's wait and see 


CHORUS
                   
but you're always a golden boy 
                         
and I'm the girl that you enjoy 
                              
my parents say isnt he a gifted son 
             
time is always passing by 
                    
and still I have to wonder why 
                               
you can't come to tell me I'm the one 

VERSE

summer goes and we have grown 
   
we have our friends live on our own 
                                   
still I'm not the girl you want me to be 


say gravity can bend the time 

funny I always liked your mind 
                                
but this whole thing is crushing me 

CHORUS

                      
but you're always a golden boy 
                              
in this girl's heart that you destroy
                             
you smile at me then have your fun
              
time is always passing by
                          
still I give you another try
                                      
and hope that you will see that im the one 

BRIDGE
            
you say your scared 
            
to get too close
           
come lets see how it goes 
                   
I see you now at the show 
                  
The 7th in the 7th row 
        
now you look at me 
                             
and see what I've known for so long 
                                  
sad that you can be so lovely and so wrong 


came to say that I've moved 

I see your face you dont approve 
                                   
guess you could say that I'm already gone 

CHORUS
                            
but you'll always be my golden boy 
                             
I'm the summer girl that you enjoyed 
                            
some melodies are best left undone 

I feel the time pass away 
                              
but in my songs you'll always stay 
                                          
I don't need you to tell me I'm the one 
                                 
I don't need you to tell me I'm the one. 
                               
you'll never know that I was the one.
