Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola
I don't need to try to explain
I just hold on tight and If it happens again
I may move so slightly to the arms
Of The Human Cannonball that
I need to I want to
Come stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you when
I get to you
Ooh I want you, I don't know if I need you but
Ooh I'd die to find out
Ooh I want you, I don't know if I need you but
Ooh I'd die to find out
I'm the kind of person who endorses a deep commitment
Getting comfy getting perfect is what I live for
But a look and then a smell of perfume
It's like I'm down on the floor
And I don't know what I'm in for
Conversation has a time and place in the interaction
Of a lover and a mate but the time of talking
Using symbols, using words can be likened
To a deep sea diver who is swimming with a raincoat
Come stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you when
I get to you
Ooh I want you, I don't know if I need you but
Ooh I'd die to find out
Ooh I want you, I don't know if I need you but
Ooh I'd die to find out
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola
I don't need to try to explain
I just hold on tight and If it happens again
I may move so slightly to the arms
And the lips and the face
Of The Human Cannonball that
I need to I want to
The lyrics to Savage Garden's song "I Want You" are a mix of poeticism and sensuality that touch upon the idea of being deeply attracted and drawn towards someone. The song begins with the singer describing how they feel whenever they need to see the person they long for - they just close their eyes and are transported to a place where the person's "crystal minds and magenta feelings" take refuge in the base of their spine. This imagery is both ethereal and vivid, and it adds to the sense of attraction the singer has for this person. They view this person, who is "sweet like a chica cherry cola," as someone they don't need to explain their attraction towards; it's something they just feel and can't shake off.
The second verse continues the theme of the singer's strong attraction to this person, describing how they feel around them. The singer is someone who appreciates deep commitment and is all about getting comfortable with someone else, but around this person, they feel out of control. A single look or smell of their perfume is enough to make the singer feel like they're falling to the floor, no longer in control of their own feelings. The singer then delves into how conversation can only do so much, likening it to a deep-sea diver swimming with a raincoat on. This comparison puts emphasis on how even though spoken words can be powerful, they cannot express the depth of the singer's attraction towards this person.
The chorus is a refrain that repeats the lyrics "Ooh I want you, I don't know if I need you but Ooh I'd die to find out." This repetition is another way for the singer to express just how much they are yearning for this person, even though they don't know if their feelings will be reciprocated. The bridge then repeats the earlier imagery of how the singer feels about this person. They can't help but be drawn to the person's arms, lips, and face, and they need to be near them.

Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
I can conjure up an image of you in my mind at will
And I am taken to a place
My mind transports me to a dreamlike state
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Your thoughts and emotions are pure and vivid
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
They have a profound physical effect on me
Sweet like a chica cherry cola
You are intoxicating and irresistible
I don't need to try to explain
My feelings for you are indescribable
I just hold on tight and If it happens again
I want to experience the same rush of emotion
I may move so slightly to the arms
I want to be in your embrace
And the lips and the face
I want to feel your kiss and see your smile
Of The Human Cannonball that
You have a bold and daring spirit
I need to I want to
I absolutely must have you
Come stand a little bit closer
I want to be physically closer to you
Breathe in and get a bit higher
I want to share a heightened sense of passion with you
You'll never know what hit you when
Our connection will be intense and unexpected
I get to you
When I finally express my passion for you
Ooh I want you, I don't know if I need you but
I desire you deeply, though I am unsure of my dependence on you
Ooh I'd die to find out
I am so consumed with desire that I am willing to take risks
I'm the kind of person who endorses a deep commitment
I am committed to pursuing long-term relationships
Getting comfy getting perfect is what I live for
I strive for a sense of security and perfection in my relationships
But a look and then a smell of perfume
You can quickly captivate me with your appearance and scent
It's like I'm down on the floor
I feel overwhelmed and powerless in your presence
And I don't know what I'm in for
I am uncertain what the future holds for us
Conversation has a time and place in the interaction
Communication is important in a relationship
Of a lover and a mate but the time of talking
There is also a time for physical expression of love
Using symbols, using words can be likened
Verbal expression can only convey so much
To a deep sea diver who is swimming with a raincoat
It can be difficult to express oneself fully
Ooh, ah
An expression of overwhelming passion and desire
