Could it Be You

 

Every day in everyway the same normal plot

At this age and at this time it’s the only thing I’ve got

I try to make it better outside

But everything revolves around the inside

Hours spent learning

Hours spent yearning

There are times when everything is great

Then sometimes nothing but hate

Walking through an amusement park

Faces and buildings make their mark

In my head, I can’t believe I’m not already dead

Could it be you?

Could you be the one?

So many of them make it hard to see

Hard to find the one for me

At the start it was unclear

Maybe the idea, maybe the fear

I met some that I thought were cool

But later on I became a fool

Give it up for a while, who cares anyway?

No time for them anyway

No money for them anyway

No room for them anyway

Could it be you?

Could you be the one?

Days passed, year rolls on

Keeping busy, not thinking long

Pause for a moment, think about the situation

For me its just one big complication

For these few years in my life

Why worry and end up in strife?

I’ll just be cool and wait

Pretty soon it will uncomplicate

Then one day, out of nowhere

My eyes begin to stare

At this person I’ve seen before

And I’ve never thought this way before

But for some reason they make me feel

Like they’re the one to help me heal

Their smile is what I’ve been searching for

Like a bright light that leads me to the door

They shine from across the room

Not having them would seem like doom

Could it be you?

Could she be the one?

I see her now more and more

So much more than before

We make eye contact and I try not to stare

When she turns it seems so unfair

Does she feel the same way?

If so, why doesn’t she say?

I try to make her notice the way I feel

But it’s her heart I cannot steal

Each day I lose a little hope

But I know that I’ll be able to cope

Because it didn’t turn out the way I wanted it to

Maybe because I let it fall through

I didn’t speak up when I needed to

And now she’s dancing with somebody new

She’s so great and I’ll always admire her

I’ll always smile when I look at her

Could it be you?

Maybe you aren’t the one

I pause for a moment and look at what’s important

There are more vital things to life than fake commitment

Only a year left until I’m on my own

I’ll have a chance to be all alone

That is the time I look for her

She’s the one I’ll discover

She’ll be the one for me

Easy to see I’ll be with her for eternity
