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

This is where I want to be

This is what I need

This is where I want to be

This is what I want

This is where I need to be

But I know that this will never be mine

Ooh the thrill and the hurting

The thrill and the hurting

I want you as the dream

Not the reality

That clumsy goodbye-kiss could fool me

But I'm looking back over my shoulder

At you happy without me

This is where I want

This is what I need to be

This is where I want

This is what I need to be

This is where I want

But I know that this will never be mine

Ooh the thrill and the hurting

The thrill and the hurting

Will never be mine

The thrill and the hurting

It will never be mine

It can never be

The thrill and the hurting

Will never be mine
