| 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 |
