[Verse 1]
I look at you and see
My life that might have been
Your face just ghostly in the smoke
They're setting fire to the cornfields
As you're taking me home
The smell of burning fields
Will now mean you and here
[Chorus 1]
This is what I want, this is where I want to be
This is what I need, this is where I need to be
This is what I want, but I know that it will never be mine
[Post-Chorus 1]
The thrill and the hurting
The thrill and the hurting
[Verse 2]
I want you as the dream
Not the reality
That clumsy goodbye kiss could fool me
But looking back over my shoulder
You're happy without me
[Chorus 2]
This is what I want, this is where I need to be
This is what I want, this is where I want to be
This is what I need, but I know that it will never be mine
[Post-Chorus 2]
The thrill and the hurting
The thrill and the hurting
Will never be mine
[Outro]
This is what I need...
This is what I want...
