You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
She'll never know your story like I do
She wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming that the day when you wake up you'll find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you can see that I'm the one who understands you
Ben!
We're all alone so why can't you see
Here you belong with me
Here you belong with me
I walk in the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?
And you've got a smile
That could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
Shall you find I know you better than that?
Hey, what you doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming that the day when you wake up you'll find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you can see that I'm the one who understands you
If you can see that I'm the one who understands you
Then we're all alone so why can't you see
Here you belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time, how could you not know, baby?
Here you belong with me
Here you belong with me
Oh, I remember you driving to my house
In the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me
Can't you see that I'm in love with you?
I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
Here you belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time, how could you not know, baby?
Here you belong with me
Here you belong with me
Here you belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
Here you belong with me
Here you belong with me
