SOMEONE THAT YOU'RE WITH (LYRICS)

I reside in 209, you're in 208
You moved in last Friday night
And I just couldn't wait
So I tried to call across the hall
To ask you out someday
But a lineup formed outside your door, and I was way too late

Well I'd rather start off slow
This whole thing's like
Some sort of race
Instead of winning what I want
I'm sitting here in second place

Because somewhere
The one I wanna be with's
With somebody else
Oh God, I wanna be that
Someone that you're with
I wanna be that someone
That you're with
And I can talk about it all day long
'Til I run out of breath
But I still wanna be that
Someone that you're with
I've got to be that
Someone that you're with
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him
Somewhere and just about to kiss
God I wanna be that
Someone that you're with

Well I hear your favourite songs
You sing along with everyday
And I borrow things that
I don't need for conversation sake
Last night I heard your key
It hit your lock at 4AM
Instead of being out with me
You must be out with them

Well I'd rather start off slow
This whole thing's like
Some sort of race
Instead of winning what I want
I'm sitting here in second place

Because somewhere the one
I wanna be with's
With somebody else
Oh God, I wanna be that
Someone that you're with
I wanna be that
Someone that you're with
And I can talk about it all day long
'Til I run out of breath
But I still wanna be that
Someone that you're with
I've got to be that
Someone that you're with
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him
Somewhere and just about to kiss
God, I wanna be that
Someone that you're with

Well somewhere the one
I wanna be with's
With somebody else
Oh God, I wanna be that
Someone that you're with
And I can talk about it all day long
'Til I run out of breath
But I still wanna be that
Someone that you're with
I've got to be that
Someone that you're with
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him
Somewhere and just about to kiss
God, I've got to be that
Someone that
I wanna be that someone that
I've got to be that
Someone that you're with

SOMEONE THAT YOU'RE WITH (SONG MEANING)

This song is about wanting to ask a person out that you are attracted to that has moved in across the hall from you in apartment blocks, but being too late to, as a queue forms to ask this person out before you "I reside in 209, you're in 208/You moved in last Friday night/And I just couldn't wait/So I tried to call across the hall/To ask you out some day/But a lineup formed outside your door, and I was way too late"! Then the perspective of the person who wanted to ask that someone out first is that everything is going too fast with their relationship and that if he or she would have went out with that person, that it would have been played slower, but still reflecting that he or she is not going out with that someone, because this person was too late "Well I'd rather start off slow/This whole thing's like/Some sort of race/Instead of winning what I want/I'm sitting here in second place".
