So it's no surprise that I find their recent single, (If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To, to be a bit comical in its simplicity and youthful honesty. It makes me smile a bit whenever I hear it.
Some lyrics:
The rest of the summer was the best we ever had
We watched Titanic,
and it didn’t make us sad
and it didn’t make us sad
I took you to Best Buy
you took me home to meet your Mom and Dad
you took me home to meet your Mom and Dad
Your Mom cooked meatloaf
even though I don’t eat meat
even though I don’t eat meat
I dug you so much,
I took some for the team
I took some for the team
Your dad was silent, his eyes were fixed on what was on TV
Then the conversation stopped, and
I looked down at the ring
I looked down at the ring
Your folks were next to you
and you were right there next to me
and you were right there next to me
Then I said go!
If you’re wondering if I want you, (I want you to)
I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to (I want you to)
So make a move, (Make a move) ‘cos I ain’t got all night
So much pain may come our way
There may come a day when we have nothing left to say
When the conversation stops,
and we’re facing our defeat
and we’re facing our defeat
I’ll be next to you and
you’ll be right there next to me
