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 

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 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’ve got to be that 
someone that 
I wanna be that someone that 
I’ve got to be that 
someone that you’re with
