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 girlYou 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 rehearsin′
The speech I made for if one day it's me you come back to
I know that I′ll be someone's number one some day
You 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 some way
Somehow, I can still be the one for you
So, five 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 it's always been me
Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Five years from now, let me set up 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 café 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 to 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 yous
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′ve 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 ten
It′ll be almost 11, and you'll say, "We should probably leave"
Then you walk me to my car and say, "Let's do this again"
And I′ll drive home feeling the happiest I′ve been since five 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 'til 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 five years from now, please give me the chance to prove you wrong
