Somebody Like You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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"

[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
For somebody like you
For somebody like you

[Verse 2]
She built hеr kingdom on a secret
Walls are fallin' down and mothеr'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

[Pre-Chorus]
When I was scared, washed-out, and lonely I needed somebody to hold me

[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
(Woo)
For somebody like you

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
