Send "For You To Notice" Ringtone to Cell

I'm starting to fashion an idea in my head
Where I would impress you
Where every single word I said
Would come out insightful or brave
Or smooth or charming

And you'd want to call me
And I would be there everytime you need me
I'd be there everytime
But for now I'll look so longingly
Waiting for you to want me, for you to need me
For you to notice me

I'm starting to fashion an idea in my head
Where I would impress you
Where every single word I said
Would come out insightful or brave
Or smooth or charming

And you'd want to call me
And I would be there everytime you need me
I'd be there everytime
But for now I'll look so longingly
Waiting for you to want me, for you to need me
For you to notice me

    Lyric Correction:The 10th line (and same for the second time through) should read:

    "But for now I'll look, so longingly;
    Wait on,
    [for you to...]"

    He drags out "wait on" for a while, so it might sound like "waiting", but I'm positive.

    General Comment:i love this song. i think it shows perfectly how you can want someone to just notice you, even if they wont be wanting you and needing you. it's just incredible.

    General Comment:this song really gets to me, not in a bad way, i just can relate to it so much. this guy and i have had a thing but he doesnt want a relationship which i am fine with. i know hes talking to other girls and thats hard for me to stomach, cause while i could be seeing other people i dont want to. i want him to notice that i "would be there every time he needs me"

    General Comment:I forgot to comment on this song!
    Well, basically it's the one of the best songs on the best EP Dashboard has ever had. Every song tells a story on it...and this one is one that we can all, once again, relate to. Isn't Chris amazing at just pinpointing feelings everyone has?

    General Comment:this song is so sad. the 1st and 2nd stanzas are kinda sweet, though. almost everyone go through this kind of feeling, wanting someone to notice you.
