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
