(Verse 1) I see you all the time and I wish you were mine I told myself I’m going to say something this time You’re laughing with all your friends and I just like you a little more, Wishing you’d look up and wonder who I’m smiling for. But you don’t know me — not yet. (Pre‑Chorus) I keep my distance, keep my quiet, keep my cool, But you turn me on you’re so fucking cool (Chorus — soft, longing) I wanna be somebody to you, Even though you don’t know my name or what I do. I wanna be the guy you notice in a crowded place, The one who puts that little light upon your face. Maybe it’s silly, both maybe it’s true I wanna be somebody to you. (Verse 2) I practice little hellos that I never get to say, I dream you’d catch my eyes and smile back someday. You’re the kind of girl who makes the world feel warm and new, And I’m just hoping maybe you give me one small chance with you. But you don’t see me — not yet. (Chorus — brighter, hopeful) I wanna be somebody to you, The guy you think about when the sky turns blue. I wanna be the one you wonder if you’ve met before, The mystery you find yourself wanting more Maybe it’s silly, maybe it’s true I wanna be somebody to you. (Bridge — dreamy, secret‑heart) Maybe someday you’ll turn around, And I’ll be standing there, spellbound. Maybe you’ll smile like you always do, And I’ll finally say “hi” instead of dreaming of you. (Final Chorus — soft, hopeful) I wanna be somebody to you, Even if right now I’m just a face you never knew. I wanna be the guy who steps into your view, And suddenly your whole world feels a little more cause I like you
