[Verse 1]
Days are long, life's so short
It's a crazy world you and me call life
Taking off across the sea
Touchdown, city full of lights
Looked around when there is no one in the room
There's a bar and they call for me and you
Floating up like there's water underneath
From the desert to the shining sea

[Chorus]
Just what I wanted, you're just what I wanted
Just what I wanted, oh, my, my (Oh, my, my)
Look around, you're just what I wanted (Just what I wanted)
Just what I wanted (Just what I wanted)
Just what I wanted, I'm alright
I'm alright (Just what I wanted, just what I wanted, you're just what I wanted)
Oh my, my (Just what I wanted, just what I wanted, you're just what I wanted)
I'm alright, I'm alright

[Verse 2]
Days are long, life's so short
It's a crazy world, you and me we try
Taking off across the sea
Touchdown, festivals, the night
Looked around at the faces in the room
People shouting, they're saying parlez-vous
Floating up like there's water underneath
I'm the desert, you're the shining sea

[Chorus]
Just what I wanted, you're just what I wanted
Just what I wanted, oh, my, my (Oh, my, my)
Look around, you're just what I wanted (Just what I wanted)
Just what I wanted (Just what I wanted)
Just what I wanted, I'm alright
I'm alright (Just what I wanted, just what I wanted, you're just what I wanted)
Oh my, my (Just what I wanted, just what I wanted, you're just what I wanted)
I'm alright, I'm alright

[Bridge]
All that I've seen, I could feel it (I've been to so many places)
Show me your eyes (I've seen the brightest lights, the darkest nights)
All that I've seen (All the things that I have seen)
You are (I swear that you are) you are

[Chorus]
Just what I wanted (come on, come on)
You're just what I wanted
All my life
I found you
You're just what I wanted (You are)Just what I wanted
All my life
Look around you (Oh, oh, come on)
Oh my, my (yeah)

[Outro]
Just what I wanted (Just what I wanted)
Just what I wanted (Just what I wanted)
You're just what I wanted all my life
Oh my, my

OneRepublic

OneRepublic is an American pop rock band, led by Ryan Tedder.

The band has released four studio albums, Dreaming Out Loud (2007), Waking Up (2009) and Native (2013), and Oh My My (2016). “Apologize” and “Counting Stars” are two of their most well-known singles, the former being their debut and the latter from the third album.

The band started with the name “Republic,” but then it was changed to “OneRepublic” or else it would be difficult to distinguish the group from other bands and other search items on search engines.
