I Wanna Know
Above & Beyond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm so tired
And hungry
I'm anemic
Do you want me
And so long as
You love me
I don't care if your lying
Is it me
Is it true
In the deep
I feel you
I'll see you in my dreams
Where everything just works
I'm chilling in your arms
And my body hurts
Uh oh
Oh and it's okay
When I'm in your car
And you get away
Down the street
And you roll the windows down




Who cares who sees
No ones around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Above & Beyond's song, "I Wanna Know," explore the complexities of a relationship and the ups and downs that come with it. The song seems to capture a moment of vulnerability, with the singer admitting to feeling confused, abused, and not well. Despite these feelings, however, the singer reassures their partner that they could never leave them.


The opening lyrics set the scene for the song's emotional tone, with the singer reflecting on a new day that has already begun after a difficult night. When their partner calls, the singer is reassuringly still around, but also hints at feeling a little distant and confused. The singer's desire to give and receive love is palpable throughout the song, and perhaps why they reiterate their commitment to never leaving their partner multiple times.


The repeated refrain of "sometimes it's hard to tell, I think you know by now" highlights the difficulties in communication that can arise in relationships. The lyrics suggest that these two people have been through a lot together, but despite any confusion or abuse, their bond is unbreakable. "I Wanna Know" is a moving tribute to the endurance of love, even when things get tough.

My brother passed away last week, looking for memories and pictures I found he sent me this song many years ago in an old email, it is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. My heart is broken but I feel closer to him listening to it.
