I Wanna
All American Rejects Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never thought that I was so blind
I can finally see the truth
It's me for you
Tonight you can't imagine that I'm by your side
Cause it's never gonna be the truth
Too far for you

But can you hear me say?
Don't throw me away
And there's no way out
I gotta hold you somehow

I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Everyday but all I have is time
Our loves the perfect crime

I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Every way and when they set me free
Just put your hands on me

Take everything that I know you'll break
And I give my life away
So far for you
But can you hear me say
Don't throw me away
There's no way out
I gotta hold you somehow

I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Everyday but all I have is time
Our loves the perfect crime

I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Every way and when they set me free
Just put your hands on me

Tonight I'm weak
It's just another day without you
That I can't sleep
I gave the world away for you to

Hear me say
Don't throw me away
There's no way out
I gotta hold you somehow
All I wanna do is touch you

I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Everyday but all I have is time
Our loves the perfect crime

I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Every way and when they set me free
Just put your hands on me

I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Everyday but all I have is time
Our loves the perfect crime

I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too




Every way and when they set me free
Just put your hands on me

Overall Meaning

In this song, The All-American Rejects sing about wanting to be with someone and touch them intimately. The singer recognizes that they have been blind before and can finally see the truth. They want to be with this person and hold them, but feel like they are too far away. Despite this, they plead with the person not to throw them away and to hold onto them somehow. They believe that their love is worth the risk and that their desire to be together is the perfect crime.


The chorus features the repetition of "I wanna touch you, you wanna touch me too" which emphasizes the intimate longing of the singer. They feel that every day, all they have is time and that their love should not be wasted. They want to touch this person in every way possible and will give up everything they know to be with them. Towards the end, the singer expresses their weakness without this person and how they gave the world away for them. They once again plead with them to hold onto them and to feel the same desire to be together that they do.


Line by Line Meaning

I never thought that I was so blind
I was ignorant and unaware of the truth, until now


I can finally see the truth
I have gained clarity and understanding about the situation


It's me for you
I am willing to commit to you


Tonight you can't imagine that I'm by your side
You are not aware of my presence tonight


Cause it's never gonna be the truth
Our relationship is based on false hopes and expectations


Too far for you
Our relationship is distant and not close enough


But can you hear me say?
I am trying to communicate with you


Don't throw me away
Please do not end our relationship


And there's no way out
We are in too deep to end things now


I gotta hold you somehow
I am determined to keep our relationship intact


I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
I desire physical intimacy with you


You wanna touch me too
You reciprocate my desire for physical intimacy


Everyday but all I have is time
I want physical contact with you all the time, but am limited by time


Our loves the perfect crime
Our relationship is secretive and hidden from others


Take everything that I know you'll break
I am willing to give you everything, even though I fear you may ruin it


And I give my life away
I am willing to make sacrifices for our relationship


So far for you
Our relationship is distant and not close enough


Tonight I'm weak
I am feeling vulnerable and insecure tonight


It's just another day without you
I miss you when we are apart


That I can't sleep
I am so consumed with thoughts of you that I can't sleep


I gave the world away for you to
I am willing to give up everything for our relationship


Hear me say
I am trying to communicate with you


All I wanna do is touch you
My desire for physical intimacy with you is strong


Every way and when they set me free
I want physical intimacy with you in every way possible


Just put your hands on me
I want you to touch me physically

@rogervasi

Tinksmorbid filming aint cheap. Some stuff you gotta do if you wanna do a video with a better budget. PS I thought it was a clever way to do the product placement
