Folks call me "that guy", they don't know my name, Never quite fit in the social game. Always a step where I don't belong, Smiling too early, tagging along. I try to be clever, behind the disguise, Then lose my nerve when I look in her eyes. The words in my head all split in disspare They're much braver in there than they'd be in the air. But maybe she's waiting somewhere tonight, Dreaming of someone who's out of the light. Someone who's honest, a little unsure, Searching for love that's simple and pure. I've wandered this world with hope in my heart, Believing that someday our lives would start. If she's looking too, then maybe we'll see... She's been waiting for me. I've watched the fellows who always know how, They sweep in so easy—I can't figure it out. They dance without thinking, they laugh without fear, While I second-guess every word they might hear. Still I've got stories I'd love to tell, And dreams that I think might just suit us well. I need someone who's willing to see The man that I hope I can be. So maybe she's waiting somewhere afar, Looking beyond all the brightest stars. Not for a white knight or a joker who's droll, Just someone sincere with hope in his soul. I haven't found fortune, I haven't found fame, But I'd cross every mile if she called me by name. If fate has a plan, then maybe we'll see... She's been waiting for me. Perhaps she's wondering just like I do, "If he's out there, will he just come through?" Two lonely hearts can miss by a mile, Until one shaky hello becomes one bright smile. Maybe tomorrow we'll both arrive, Right where all our hope has kept our dreams alive. Funny how fate can quietly be... So desperately far and never for me. So here's to tomorrow, wherever it leads, To hearts that are patient and love that believes. The road may be long, but that's all right with me, Because somewhere beyond what these eyes can see, There's someone who's hoping ohhh. As quietly... as me.
