Lyrics

I was ready for you to come and shake up my world

I was sure that it would be us but you had different plans

You weren’t ready to settle down cause you hadn’t tried out every girl

You were careless when it came to me but i understand

Cause you know i’ll be here for the long run

You know that i’ll wait while you have your fun

And maybe that’s not fair

But i don’t care

If i end up with you

I convinced myself you’re my person

So i’ll spend as long as i have to rehearsing

The speech i made for if one day

It’s me you come back to

I know that i’ll be someone’s number 1 someday

They won’t go searching for more

But i’ll still wish i could’ve been enough for you

And i can’t let that go

I know i’m better off

But i still think there’s someway

Somehow i can still be the one for you

5 years from now

If you’re still around

And by some miracle you haven’t settled down

Maybe we can meet

Catch up on everything

And if it goes how i planned it

You’ll say that it’s always been me

Five years from now

Let me set up the scene

I’ll call you up

And you’ll say it’s good to hear from me

I’ll ask if we can meet at the cafe by your house

You’ll say “you know i don’t like coffee”

I’ll say “i thought you might by now”

You’ll suggest that since we’re older

Let’s go out for drinks

And i’ll make a joke

That this is the first time you’ve paid for me

I’ll arrive at the bar

You’ll be waiting in your car

You’ll get out and i’ll run to you

Straight into your arms

I can feel your heart racing

But i won’t say a thing

Cause mine is doing the same

Just like it did when i was 18

Once we get past the awkward “how are you”s

You’ll say you’ve been dying to know where i went to

I’ll say that i’ve been working on my music in LA

But i won’t tell you that my songs are still about you to this day

You’ll say you’re proud and you’re happy for me

And you always knew i’d end up living my dream

And then you’ll fill me in on what you’ve been up to

And i’ll probably interrupt you

You know i always do

And we’ll both laugh

And it’s like nothing’s changed

When i look in your eyes

You’ll still make me feel the same

And i’ll dread the part when you tell me about all the girls you’ve been with

I know they’re all in your past

But it’ll still be hard for me to listen

Cause after all this time

You haven’t left my mind

I never moved on

I looked for you in every guy

But i’ll make up some story

So you won’t have a clue

That i never put myself out there

Cause i’ve been waiting for you

We’ll talk for hours

And we won’t even notice

That the bar cleared out

Cause it closed at 10

It’ll be almost 11

And you’ll say “we should probably leave”

Then you’ll walk me to my car

And say “let’s do this again”

And i’ll drive home

Feeling the happiest i’ve been

Since 5 years ago

Before our inescapable end

But that’s water under the bridge

It’s okay that you didn’t want me

Cause before i can even pull in my driveway you’ll call me

You’ll say that you couldn’t wait till the next time you saw me

To tell me you’re sorry

About all those years ago

And that you were just stupid and young

And the girls that you loved

Were fine but none of them ever felt like home

But i do

One day you’ll ask for my forgiveness

But you’ve had it all along

Cause it’s always been you

You think our love is long gone now

Buried deep in the ground

And can never be found

But 5 years from now

Please give me the chance to prove you wrong
