I wanted to be like you

I wanted everything

So I tried to be like you

And I got swept away



Deep down she knew it. She wanted to be just a little bit higher in the social ladder. Like Tristan. So she tried one day, at Chilton. She tried to be a Chiltonite. A rich, snobby, stuck-up, popular Chiltonite. It didn't work.



I didn't know that it was so cold

And that you needed someone

to show you the way



She figured out that all these people wore an emotional mask. A mask to hide the hurt that was happening inside. Tristan wore one of the biggest masks.



So I took your hand and we figured out

That when the tide comes

I'd take you away



She decided to try and take him away from it all. All the cold he felt. Fill his heart with warmth.



If you want to

I can save you

I can take you away from here

So lonley inside

So busy out there

And all you wanted was somebody who cares



Because that's what he needed. He was so lonley inside his soul. But on the outside, he was busy keeping a charade going on. She could see that he only need someone to get to know the real him. Someone who could help him



I'm sinking slowly

So hurry hold me

Your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on

Please can you tell me

So I can finally see

Where you go when you're gone



I guess in a way, she could say she needed him too. She needed to see that all life couldn't, and wasn't, perfect. A grip in reality, so-to-say.



If you want to

I can save you

I can take you away from here

So lonley inside

So busy out there

And all you wanted was somebody who cares



She could save him. She knew she had enough strength and kindness to do so. Somehow she could see that he was suffering.



All you wanted was somebody who cares

If you need me you know I'll be there

Oh, yeah



She could always be there for him. She saw the real and true Tristan DuGray. No one else could see.



If you want to

I can save you

I can take you away from here

So lonley inside

So busy out there

And all you wanted was some body who cares.



In all of this, she found feelings for this boy. True feelings. Rory Gilmore had finally realized she loved him. She loved Tristan. If only he would let her in.



Please can you tell me

So I can finally see

Where you go when you're gone.
