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

[Chorus:]
Because somewhere the one I want to be with's with somebody else
Oh god, I want to be that someone that you're with
I want to be that someone that you're with
And I can talk about it all day long till I run out of breath
But I still want to 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 want to 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 - tt hit your lock at four 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

[Chorus]

Well, somewhere the one I want to be with's with somebody else
Oh god, I want to be that someone that you're with
And I can talk about it all day long till I run out of breath
But I still want to 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 want to be that someone that...
I've got to be that someone that you're with
