Verse 1
I wish I knew what you’re thinking
That I could read your mind
Then I’d have no problem solving
The mystery behind those blue eyes
It’s Friday again, another week passes by
And now summer is nearly over
I thought surely by now we could’ve figured this out
But you don’t always get what you want
Chorus
Is this really what you need?
Is this how you want things to be?
Verse 2
I wish you knew what I’m feeling
That you’d really know my life
Surely that’d make this easier
You wouldn’t be surprised
‘Cause you’d feel my heart skip a beat
Every time that I spot you across the room
We wave and we smile, even chat for awhile
But you’d know all I wanna say to you is:
Chorus
Is this really what you need?
Is this how you want things to be?
Is this really what you need?
Is this how you want things to be?
Bridge
Is this what you wanted?
Or are you just running?
I don’t know, I could be wrong
What does it mean when you’re still lingering
Like you don’t really wanna leave
Chorus
Is this really what you need?
Is this how you want things to be?
Is this really what you need?
Is this how you want things to be?
