This shy guy is deeply in love with the girl who lives next door, but can't get up enough courage to tell her/let her know, so he sits back in the shadows and prays, hopes, and dreams one day, some day she'll see him for what he really is...the one!

lyrics

The One

I heard raised voices, cursing, the slam of your front door, then you crying.
There goes another, like the others, and we both know you're bound to keep on trying for "Mr. Right."
Sometimes the treasure we're seeking, is right before our very eyes,
so try digging in your own back yard, girl you'll find my heart hidden in plain sight...

I'm living, breathing, close enough to touch, so far away.
I've been hoping, praying, down on both my knees there'll come a day,
you'll see me differently, as more than just the caring guy next door,
see me as the one, the one you're searching for.

I've seen men come and go and leave your heart in pieces on the ground.
Here in the shadows girl, I've watched them one by one all let you down.
Given the chance, I'll be all you've ever wanted in a man.
I'm so close to you, so in love with you, I'll be so much more than a one-night stand.

I'm living, breathing, close enough to touch, so far away.
I've been hoping, praying, down on both my knees there'll come a day,
you'll see me differently, as more than just the caring guy next door,
see me as the one, the one you're searching for.
See me as the one, the one you're searching for.
Baby, I'm the one, the one you're searching for.
