I remember cheering you on at every football game
Shoutin' number twenty as a running back takes your play
I wait from the bleachers on the thirty yard line
You only look away, don't you see
What it does to me
When the game is called and the crowd goes home
I get my chance with you alone
All you seem to do is look right through me
I've dreamt of you a thousand times
But you don't even bat an eye
Doesn't matter what I do or how I try
I'm always the girl on the sidelines
In the air, on the ground
I feel the spirit all around
I guess you really drove it home again
As I watch you walk away with her in your arms
Like I'm only a friend, can't you see
That should be me, that should be me
When the game is called and the crowd goes home
I get my chance with you alone
All you seem to do is look right through me
I've dreamt of you a thousand times
But you don't even bat an eye
Doesn't matter what I do or how I try
I'm always the girl on the sidelines
Now, pretend that you're just a mistake
As I watch the instant replay
Spinnin' 'round and 'round again in my mind
I've dreamt of you a thousand times
But you don't even bat an eye
Doesn't matter what I do or how I try
I'm always the girl on the sidelines
I'm just another girl on the sidelines
