I Want You
野人花园savage garden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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

Overall Meaning

"I Want You" by Savage Garden is a song that describes a deep longing for someone. The opening lines convey the intensity of the desire, stating that anytime the singer wants to see the person he longs for, he just needs to close his eyes and they are transported to a place where they can be together. The vivid imagery of "crystal minds and magenta feelings" convey the beauty and intensity of the emotions being described. The singer's desire is compared to the sweetness of a "chica cherry cola," and the lyrics of the song emphasize that trying to explain the depth of the feeling is unnecessary because it is enough just to hold on tight and feel the connection.


The second verse of the song delves deeper into the singer's perspective on love and relationships. He describes himself as the kind of person who is committed to achieving perfection and getting comfortable, yet he is struck by the intensity of the desire he feels for this one person. The interaction between lovers is compared to a deep-sea diver who is swimming with a raincoat, emphasizing the difficulty of navigating emotional relationships with words and symbols. The chorus repeats the expression of the desire to be with the person, even though the singer does not know if he needs them.

Conversation has a time and place in the interaction

Using symbols, using words can be likened
Our attempts to express our feelings can be inadequate.


To a deep sea diver who is swimming with a raincoat
We are ill-suited to convey the depth of our emotions through words.


Ooh, ah
Sounds of yearning and desire.

Lyrics:

Anytime I need to see your face, I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place where your crystal mind
And magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola
I don't need to try to explain, I just hold on tight
And if it happens again, I might move so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face of the human cannonball
That I need to, I want to
Well, 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 would 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, 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
Well, 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 would die to find out
ya, ya
(Ooh, ah) ya, ya
Anytime I need to see your face, I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place where your crystal mind
And magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola
I don't need to try to explain, I just hold on tight
And if it happens again, I might move so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face of the human cannonball
That I need to, I want to
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 would die to find out (so can we find out?)
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 would 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'd die to find out)
Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you, but (oh, why can't we find out?)
Ooh, I would die to find out
