I want to kiss him
I want to kiss her
I want to run my fingers through your hair
and hear you say you've never done this before with someone like me
I want to run my fingers through your hair
and tell you that I've never done this before
with someone like you

I wanna tell you
I wanna hear you

So he wasn't born that long ago
and the disciples weren't organised
but if your god is valid why isn't mine?
And if you close your eyes
we'll still be dancing till the end of time

Tell me that you've never felt like this before

Overall Meaning

The Spook School's song I Want to Kiss You is an upbeat and playful pop punk love song that captures the emotions of desire, excitement, and uncertainty in romantic relationships. The lyrics express a deep yearning to connect with another person physically and emotionally, and the singer is eager to explore new experiences and sensations with their partner. The first verse is gender-neutral, expressing a fluidity of desire and attraction that reflects the diverse experiences and identities of the band members and their fans.

The repetition of the line "I want to run my fingers through your hair" emphasizes the sensual and intimate nature of the song, while the line "and tell you that I've never done this before with someone like you" suggests a vulnerability and openness to new possibilities. The second verse adds a playful twist to the song, with a humorous reference to religion and the idea that everyone's beliefs are equally valid. The final line "Tell me that you've never felt like this before" is both a request for validation and an acknowledgement that the intensity of these feelings can be overwhelming and confusing.

Overall, I Want to Kiss You is a catchy and clever song that captures the excitement and uncertainty of falling in love and exploring new possibilities. It celebrates the diversity of human desire and the importance of being open and honest with ourselves and others about what we want and need from our relationships.
