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 my 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.
But she wears short skirts,
I wear T-shirts.
She’s cheer captain
And I’m on the bleachers.
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you’re looking for has been here the whole time.
If you could see
That I’m the one
Who understands you,
Been here all along.
So, why can’t you see
You belong with me?
You belong with me!
Walking the streets
With you and 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 awhile,
Since she brought you down.
You say you’re fine,
I know you’re 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 about the day when you wake up and find
That what you’re looking for has been here the whole time.
If you could see
That I’m the one
Who understands you,
Been here all along.
So, why can’t you see
You belong with me?
Standing by you,
Waiting at your backdoor.
All this time…
How could you not know, baby,
You belong with me?
You belong with me!
Oh, I remember you were 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 the one
Who understands you,
Been here all along?
So, why can’t you see
You belong with me?
Standing by you,
Waiting at your backdoor.
All this time…
How could you not know, baby,
You belong with me?
You belong with me!
You belong with me!
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me!
Prevod pesme
Tebi je mesto kraj mene
Razgovaraš preko telefona
Sa svojom devojkom – uznemirena je.
Šizi zbog nečega što si rekao,
Jer ne shvata tvoj humor kao ja.
Ja sam u sobi – tipičan utorak uveče,
Slušam muziku koja se njoj ne dopada.
Nikad neće znati tvoju priču kao ja.
Ali ona nosi kratke suknje,
A ja majice.
Ona je vođa navijačica,
A ja sam na tribinama.
Maštam o danu kada ćeš se probuditi i otkriti
Da je ono što si tražio sve vreme bilo tu.
Kad bi samo shvatio
Da sam ja ta
Koja te razume,
Da sam sve vreme bila tu.
Zašto ne možeš da shvatiš
Da ti je kraj mene mesto?
Kraj mene ti je mesto!
Hodam ulicama
S tobom i tvojim iznošenim farmericama.
Ne mogu prestati da mislim
Da ovako treba da bude.
Smejem se na klupi u parku,
U sebi razmišljam:
„Zar ovo nije lako?”
Imaš osmeh
Koji može da osvetli ceo ovaj grad.
Nisam ga videla neko vreme,
Od kako te je ona ubedačila.
Kažeš da si dobro,
Znam da možeš ti i bolje.
Hej, šta radiš
S takvom devojkom?
Ona nosi visoke štikle,
A ja patike.
Ona je vođa navijačica,
A ja sam na tribinama.
Maštam o danu kada ćeš se probuditi i otkriti
Da je ono što si tražio sve vreme bilo tu.
Kad bi samo shvatio
Da sam ja ta
Koja te razume,
Da sam sve vreme bila tu.
Zašto ne možeš da shvatiš
Da ti je kraj mene mesto?
Uz tebe sam,
Čekam kraj tvojih zadnjih vrata.
Sve ovo vreme…
Kako je moguće da nisi shvatio, dušo,
Da ti je kraj mene mesto?
Kraj mene ti je mesto!
Sećam se da si vozio prema mojoj kući
U gluvo doba.
Ja sam ta koja te zasmejava
Kad znaš da si gotov da zasplačeš.
Znam koje su tvoje omiljene pesme
I govoriš mi o čemu sanjaš.
Mislim da znam kraj koga ti je mesto,
Mislim da znam da ti je mesto kraj mene.
Kad bi samo shvatio
Da sam ja ta
Koja te razume,
Da sam sve vreme bila tu.
Zašto ne možeš da shvatiš
Da ti je kraj mene mesto?
Uz tebe sam,
Čekam kraj tvojih zadnjih vrata.
Sve ovo vreme…
Kako je moguće da nisi shvatio, dušo,
Da ti je kraj mene mesto?
Kraj mene ti je mesto!
Kraj mene ti je mesto!
Da li ti je nekad palo na pamet
Da ti je kraj mene mesto?
Kraj mene ti je mesto!
