Is This What You Wanted

Jill Phillips


What can be said for what's in your head 
Where do your thoughts meet with your actions 
Don't tell me lies or give me advice 
About what to do with my life 
I know where you are, you're not very far 
From the edge of a point where you can't turn back 
And all that you see, all you believe
is how you can meet all your needs 

CHORUS: 
Is this what you wanted from your life 
Or would you say your expectations have changed 
It's a sure sign of a wrong turn 
But then you don't pay attention anymore (anyway) 

Spiraling down you plunge to the ground 
Waited by all the baggage you are holding 
Clutching it tight with all of your might 
You don't even realize that you are falling 
Gone is the glow we all used to know 
Your eyes seem to focus on a point beyond me 
The words are rehearsed and neatly versed 
To dutifully further your façade 

CHORUS 

BRIDGE: 
What can I say to make you listen 
The words are flying through your ears and out your head 
It's wasting time and wasting breath 
Cause "I'll do what I want" you once said 
And you'll do what you want like you said 

INST. SOLO 

So show me the place, the very first trace 
Of love in your life- as you now call it 
You would have been ashamed but you've changed your name 
And I guess you've changed your mind 
I guess you've changed your mind 

oh, you've changed, you've changed…
