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      And this is where I want to be   This is what I need   This is where I want to be   This is what I need      This is where I want to be   But I know that this will never be mine      Ooh, the thrill and the hurting   The thrill and the hurting   I know that this will never be mine      I want you as the dream, not the reality   That clumsy goodbye kiss could fool me   But looking back over my shoulder   At you, happy without me      This is where I want to be   This is what I need   This is where I want to be   This is what I need      This is where I want to be   But I know that this will never be mine      Ooh, 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
