He just turned nineteen, she's twenty-two Now he got laid off this afternoon She's workin' part-time in a second-hand store Stackin' dreams like books on her bedroom floor They burn the evenin', smokin' the dragon 'Cause in oblivion, it feels like heaven. She said, "It's true, I been Waitin' for somebody like you" I let my guard down for a moment Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too I've been waitin' Waitin' for somebody like you For somebody like you For somebody like you She built her kingdom on a secret Walls are fallin' down and mother's weepin' There's gotta be a way to turn invisible Father's on his knees, prayin' for miracles While she is drivin' down to Georgia With the sunset kissin' her shoulders God knows it's true, I been Waitin' for somebody like you When I was scared, washed-out, and lonely I needed somebody to hold me I let my guard down for a moment Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too I've been waitin' Waitin' for somebody like you I let my guard down for a moment Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too I've been waitin' Waitin' for somebody like you (Woo) For somebody like you Oh, eternal silence Nobody here to steal our time Sunburnt skin and There are no mountains we need to climb If you go there, I will go there Never look back 'cause we still got time All of my life, I've been waitin' I've been waitin' for somebody like you For somebody like you I let my guard down for a moment Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too I've been waitin' Waitin' for somebody like you I let my guard down for a moment Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too I've been waitin' Waitin' for somebody like you
