Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
[Chorus]
Bang-bang, he shot me down
Bang-bang, I hit the ground
Bang-bang, that awful sound
Bang-bang, my baby shot me down
[Instrumental]
I got my sights set on you and I'm ready to aim
I got a heart that will never be tamed
I knew you were somethin' special when you spoke my name
Now I can't wait to see you again
[Verse 2]
I got a way of knowin' when somethin' is right
I feel like I must've known you in another life
I felt this deep connection when you looked in my eyes (I can't wait)
Now I can't wait to see you again
[Chorus]
The last time I freaked out, I just kept lookin' down
I st-st-stuttered when you asked me what I'm thinkin' 'bout
Felt like I couldn't breathe, you asked what's wrong with me
My best friend Lesley said, "Oh, she's just being Miley"
The next time we hang out, I will redeem myself
My heart can't rest 'til then
Oh-woah-woah, I, I can't wait to see you again
[Verse 3]
I got this crazy feelin' deep inside
When you called and asked to see me tomorrow night
I'm not a mind-reader, but I'm reading the signs (That you can't wait)
That you can't wait to see me again
[Chorus]
The last time I freaked out, I just kept lookin' down
I st-st-stuttered when you asked me what I'm thinkin' 'bout
Felt like I couldn't breathe, you asked what's wrong with me
My best friend Lesley said, "Oh, she's just being Miley"
The next time we hang out, I will redeem myself
My heart can't rest 'til then
Oh-woah-woah, I, I can't wait to see you again
[Bridge]
I got my sights set on you and I'm ready to aim
[Chorus]
The last time I freaked out, I just kept lookin' down
I st-st-stuttered when you asked me what I'm thinkin' 'bout
Felt like I couldn't breathe, you asked what's wrong with me
My best friend Lesley said, "Oh, she's just being Miley"
The next time we hang out, I will redeem myself
My heart can't rest 'til then
Oh-woah-woah, I, I can't wait to see you again
[Outro]
I can't wait to see you again
