| A yound kid among the pack
 | 
| The same place a hundred million other kids is at
 | 
| The same type of face, and same type of stats.
 | 
| He’s trying to find his way, yeah he’s trying to find his path
 | 
| A new girl upon the set
 | 
| She comes from california with sun up on her chest
 | 
| Got all the boys up on her cause she’s hotter than the rest.
 | 
| He trying to get his weight up cause he’s got to be the best
 | 
| Yeah, so he can flex
 | 
| So he started talking to her right
 | 
| Wide eyes and words stumbling,
 | 
| Asking for her name and her number
 | 
| And wher she comming from and shit
 | 
| But the girl saw something sweet
 | 
| So she let him walk her home,
 | 
| Had him in for a bite to eat
 | 
| And they became friends, and later lovers
 | 
| From after school specials, to rolling in the covers
 | 
| And they be siting in the park, staring at the stars, thinking I just wanna be
 | 
| where you are.
 | 
| I wanna be where you are, I’ve got be where you are, I’ve got to be where you
 | 
| are
 | 
| And now the kid’s growing up,
 | 
| He’s always in the gym
 | 
| Playing ball, blowing up
 | 
| He wanna play in college yeah he wanna throw it up
 | 
| But still he need a scholarship cause money’s slowing up
 | 
| And the girl’s growing too
 | 
| She’s trying to figure out exactly what she wants to do
 | 
| She knows she want to be with him but she don’t have a clue,
 | 
| How she’s gonna tell him she got in a different school, man it’s cruel
 | 
| But that’s how life goes some times you know?
 | 
| When one door closes, another opens, and lovers find themselves so far from
 | 
| what they know.
 | 
| But they keep hope alive, and they’ll keep trying, through all the lonely
 | 
| nights, the phone calls the crying.
 | 
| He’ll be on the courts just yearning for the ball while she’ll be in her books
 | 
| just learning bout the law
 | 
| And even though they’re very far, they’ll look up at the stars still thinking I
 | 
| just wanna be where you are
 | 
| I wanna be where you are, I’ve got be where you are, I’ve got to be where you
 | 
| are
 | 
| And now the kid’s become a man.
 | 
| He finished on his school and he’s got a different plan
 | 
| He had to leave the ball behind, he had to take a stand
 | 
| he got a 9-to-5 because he wanna raise a fam'
 | 
| And yo the girl’s doing fine
 | 
| She moved so far away, but she’s always on his mind
 | 
| She’s caught up in her work and she’s got a different guy
 | 
| But still she missed the time when he would tell her that you’re mine
 | 
| Yeah she started crying
 | 
| And so she called him up right one night and said:
 | 
| «Where you are is where I wanna be, but where I gotta go, ain’t even that close
 | 
| to where you’re gonna be.
 | 
| And I don’t know what’s in front of me.
 | 
| I’ve got a lot of life to live before I stop running,
 | 
| Still I remember times you were holding me.
 | 
| You told me never let go, I wish I never let go.
 | 
| So I sit alone in the park, staring at the stars, knowing I can never be where
 | 
| you are.»
 | 
| I wanna be where you are, I’ve got be where you are, I’ve got to be where you
 | 
| are |
