The song describes missing a past lover and wishing they could go back to how things were. The singer imagines if their relationship was a movie, the lover would come back to them after an argument and say they were sorry. They hope the lover will return to fix things, but know that people change and it may not be possible to get back what was lost.

Never Knew I Needed lyrics
(Ooh)
For the way you changed my plans
For being the perfect distraction
For the way you took the idea that I have
Of everything that I wanted to have
And made me see there was something missing (oh yeah)
For the ending of my first begin
(Ooh yeah yeah) (ooh yeah yeah)
And for the rare and unexpected friend
(Ooh yeah yeah)(ooh yeah yeah)
For the way you're something that I never choose
But at the same time something I don't wanna lose
And never wanna be without ever again (oh oh)
You're the best thing I Never Knew I Needed
So when you were here I had no idea
You're the best thing I never knew I needed
So now it's so clear I need you here always
My accidental happily (ever after oh oh oh)
The way you smile and how you comfort me (with your laughter)
I must admit you were not a part of my book
But now if you open it up and take a look
You're the beginning and the end of every chapter (oh oh)
You're the best thing I never knew I needed (oh)
So when you were here I had no idea
You're the best thing I never knew I needed (that I needed)
So now it's so clear I need you here always
Who'd knew that I'd be here (who'd knew that I'd be here oh oh)
So unexpectedly (so unexpectedly oh oh)
Undeniably happy (hey)
Said with you right here, right here next to me (oh)
Girl you're the...
You're the best thing I never knew I needed (said I needed oh oh)
So when you were here I had no idea
You're the best thing I never knew I needed (needed oh)
So now it's so clear I need you here always
Baby baby
Now it's so clear I need you here always

Summer Nights lyrics
Summer lovin', happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me, I met a boy, cute as can be
Summer days drifting' away,
To uh-oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more,
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more,
Like, does he have a car?
Aha, do, aha, do, aha
She swam by me, she got a cramp
He went by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed off, splashing around
Summer sun, something's begun,
But uh-oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more, Was it love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more, Did she put up a fight?
Took her bowlin' in the arcadeWe went strollin', drank lemonade
We made out under the dockWe stayed up until ten o'clock
Summer fling don't mean a thing,
But uh-oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more, But you don't gotta brag
Tell me more, tell me more, Cause he sounds like a drag
He got friendly, holdin' my hand
Well she got friendly, down in the sand
He was sweet, just turned eighteen.
Well she was good, you know what I mean.
Summer heat, boy and girl meet,
But uh-oh those summer nights.
Tell me more, tell me more,
How much dough did he spend?
Tell me more, tell me more,
Could she get me a friend?
Summer dreams ripped at the seams,
But oh, those summer nights.
Tell me more, tell me more…
3. THANK GOD I FOUND YOU
Mariah Carey
I would give up everything
Before I'd separate myself from you
After so much suffering
I've finally found a man that's true
I was all by myself for the longest time
So cold inside
And the hurt from the heart it would not subside
I felt like dying until you saved my life
Thank God I found you, I was lost without you
My every wish and every dream somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight, completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude 'cause baby, I'm so thankful I found you
I would give you everything
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
To ensure your happiness
I'll cherish every part of you
Because without you beside me I can't survive
I don't wanna try
If you're keeping me warm each and every night
I'll be all right 'cause I need you in my life
Thank God I found you(I'm begging you)
I was lost without you(So lost without you)
My every wish and every dream(Every dream, every dream)
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight(Brought the sunlight)
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude 'cause baby, I'm so thankful I found you
See I was so desolate before you came to me
Looking back, I guess it shows that we were destined to shine
After the rain to appreciate, and care for what we have
And I'd go through it all over again to be able to feel this way
Thank God I found youI was lost without you
(Lost without you, baby)
My every wish and every dream somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life (Whole life)
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude, sweet baby, I'm so thankful I found you
Thank God I found you, I was lost without you
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude, my baby, I'm so thankful I found you
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude, my baby, I'm so thankful I found you
4. BECAUSE YOU LOVED M
-Celine Dion
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
5. IF THIS WAS A MOVIE
Taylor Swift
Last night I heard my own heart beating Sounded like footsteps on my stairs
Six months gone and I'm still reaching Even though I know you're not there
I was playing back a thousand memories, baby
Thinkin' 'bout everythin' we've been through
Maybe I've been goin' back too much lately When time stood still and I had you
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside 'Til I came out
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you're sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie you'd be here by now
I know people change and these things happen
But I remember how it was back then
Locked up in your arms and our friends were laughing
'Cause nothing like this ever happened to them
Now, I'm pacing down the hall, chasing down your street
Flashback to the night when you said to me
"Nothing's gonna change, not for me and you " Not before I knew how much I had to
lose
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside 'Til I came out
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you're sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie you'd be here by now
If you're out there, if you're somewhere, if you're moving on
I've be waiting for you ever since you've been gone
I just want it back the way it was before
And I just wanna see you back at my front door
And I say come back, come back, come back to me like
You would before you said it's not that easy
Before the fight, before I locked you out
But I'd take it all back now
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie Stand in the rain outside 'Til I came out
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow But if this was a movie you'd be here by now
You'd be here by now
It's not the kind of ending you wanna see now
Baby, what about the ending? Oh, I thought you'd be here by now
That you'd be here by now
