I Just Wanted Your Love
Alexz Johnson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You got time
If time is what you needed
You're not mine
I rather not believe you're fine
Rather think you're up all night
You're alright
You knew me when you met me
Let's not fight
I'm just a little feisty
Maybe, maybe I would lose my mind

I don't wanna
Let you go away
I don't wanna
Let you go

Boy, I just wanted your love
I just need to feel your love
I just wanted your love

I don't wanna
Let you go

You got steam
The wheels are turning
It's just me
I'm crashing and I'm burning
Shouldn't we be making out?
You got guts
Guts is what I need now
I don't mind
Starting to believe it's over
Tell her "I loathe her"

I don't wanna
Let you go away
I don't wanna
Let you go

Boy, I just wanted your love
I just need to feel your love
I just wanted your love

I don't wanna
Let you go

Ha!

Letting you go
Letting you go
Letting you go
Letting you go
Letting you go
Yea yea

I don't wanna
Let you go away
I don't wanna
Let you go

Boy, I just wanted your love
I just need to feel your love
I just wanted your love

I don't wanna
Let you go

Higher Ground
I've been crawling
To the mountains
Skinned my knees with blood and hope
If I stayed standing
I'd be drowning
The rising waters made me choke

As I am getting nearer
My mission is coming clear

I know this road
Never seen it before
I know what lies behind unopened doors
I saw the signs from the distant shore
That I couldn't ignore...

I'm heading for higher ground

I left everyone behind me
I took everything I know
Half way up and I'm still climbing
Still a million miles to go

The water is drawing nearer
As everything disappears

I know this road
Never seen it before
I know what lies behind unopened doors
I saw the signs from the distant shore
That I couldn't ignore...

I'm heading for higher ground

And my foot slips
But I don't quit
And my hand grips the rock
Something pulls deep
From within me
Til I get there, I won't stop

I know this road
Never seen it before
I know what lies behind unopened doors
I saw the signs from the distant shore
That I couldn't ignore

I know this road
Never seen it before
I know what lies behind unopened doors
I saw the signs from the distant shore
That I couldn't ignore

I'm heading for higher, higher ground





Way up here, the air is thin
Feels like I could go so far

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alexz Johnson's song "I Just Wanted Your Love" depict a person who is struggling to let go of someone they love. The singer is trying to reconcile with their lover, who seems to be distancing themselves. The opening lines indicate an offer of time and concern from the singer, but it seems the other person has chosen to move on. Despite this, the singer is holding on to hope and refuses to give up without a fight. The lyrics "Boy, I just wanted your love, I just need to feel your love" shows the singer's desperation to be loved and held by the person they are singing to.


As the song progresses, the singer's emotions fluctuate between despair and frustration. They feel the urge to make love to the other person but also plead with them to stay. The lyrics "Shouldn't we be making out?... Tell her 'I loathe her'" suggest the singer is jealous of someone else the lover may have moved on with. The chorus repeats the same message of not wanting to let go, which highlights the singer's obsession with their lover.


The song's overall theme is love, loss and the struggle to let go. It depicts the story of a person who is deeply in love, but the other person has already moved on. The lyrics suggest a modern twist on the classic love story of unrequited love. It is a melancholic song that is relatable to anyone who has ever struggled to let go of a loved one.

I love this whole video, but I'm pretty sure my favorite part is, and always will be, when she says the "Shouldn't we be making out?" and Tommy and Kwest both look up, then Kwest looks over at him, as if it's about Tommy, and Tommy's look on his face is an awkward smile. GREATNESS. :) Oh, and just to mention, Tommy is the ONLY character who doesn't try to pour something on Jude's head. :D
