Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were standin' like a statue in the light
And it looked just like perfection in my eyes
When he spoke I staggered from the blow
Once I touched I never could let go
[Verse 2]
(Oh) Oh (Oh)
Is this what I waited for? (Oh)
[Verse 3]
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Everything I wanted
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Everything I wanted for a while
[Verse 4]
So we whispered every secret we could tell (Ah)
And we painted lovely pictures of ourselves
Though we hid the parts we did not want to know (Ah)
As the strength of our illusions took control
[Verse 5]
(Oh) Oh (Oh)
Is this what I waited for? (Oh)
[Verse 6]
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Everything I wanted
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Everything I wanted
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Everything I wanted
[Verse 7]
I never know if my heart tells lies
Caught in a feeling I just can't fight
First I go running, then I come back down
Turn the clock back around
[Verse 8]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 9]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[Verse 10]
Oh (Oh) Oh (Oh)
Is this what I waited for? (Oh)
[Verse 11]
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Everything I wanted
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Everything I wanted
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Everything I wanted
[Verse 12]
(Everything I want)
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
(Anything I need)
Everything I wanted (Okay)
[Verse 13]
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
(Anything I want)
Anything I wanted
(Gonna live my time to tell)
[Verse 14]
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
(Anything I wanted) I don't care
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
