Overall Meaning

The lyrics of David Lynch's song "I Want You" are simple and repetitive, but they pack a lot of emotion into those few words. At its core, the song is about a desperate longing for love and connection. The first lines, "I-I-I want you, oh, oh, love you so," make it clear that the singer is deeply enamored with someone and feels a strong attraction to them. The repetition of "I want you" emphasizes the urgent need for this person.


The second verse, "Hold you tight, hold," is perhaps even more revealing. It suggests not just a desire for physical closeness, but also a need for security and comfort. The singer wants to be able to hold this person tightly and never let go, to feel safe and protected in their embrace. This longing is further emphasized with the repetition of "Hold you tight, hold you tight, all the time, all the time."


The final lines, "Love come back, love come back," suggest that perhaps the singer has been rejected or pushed away by this person they so desperately want. They are pleading with love to return, to bring this person back into their life and into their arms. Altogether, the lyrics paint a picture of someone who is deeply in love and willing to do whatever it takes to be with the person they desire.
