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 line had formed outside your door, and I was way too late

[CHORUS]
Well I'd rather start off slow
This whole thing's like
some sort of a race
Instead of winning what I want
I'm sitting here in second place

Because somewhere
the one I wanna be with
with somebody else
Oh God, I wanna be that
someone that you're with
(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, just about to kiss
Then 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

[CHORUS]
Well I'd rather start off slow
This whole thing's like
some sort of a race
Instead of winning what I want
I'm sitting here in second place

Because somewhere the one
I wanna be with
with somebody else
Oh God, I wanna be that
someone that you're with
(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, just about to kiss
Then God, I wanna be that
someone that you're with

Well somewhere the one
I wanna be with
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, just about to kiss
Then 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
