Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna know, I wanna know
You can spend your whole life trying to get all the finer things
And when you think about it, it don't really matter
Cause you came in the world, for you to flap your wings
These songs for you, to play on repeat
And I wanna give you, the vibes that you need
I wanna know, I wanna know
The lyrics of James' song "I Wanna Know" convey the desire to experience love in all its forms: the healing love, the broken love, the familial love, and the divine love.

The attempt to discover God's love and its manifestation in the world is a predominant theme in the song. The lyrics suggest that love has to be experienced to be understood and that the encounter with suffering and vulnerability is an opportunity for real intimacy with God's love.
James uses metaphors that evoke different aspects of the human experience to express the singer's yearning for love. The struggle to let go of walls and defensiveness, the longing for a loving parent's embrace, and the desire for authenticity and realness are all essential themes in the song. The singer wants to know God's love and to be transformed by the experience, so he asks to let go of all barriers and realities that could hinder the encounter with love.
Overall, the song expresses the singer's desire to be fully present and attentive to the beauty and complexity of life, to embrace the brokenness, and to let love transforms him. It is a song about hope, vulnerability, and surrender.
Line by Line Meaning
I wanna be grounded and rooted in love
I want to feel completely secure and deeply connected in love.
I wanna know your love
I want to understand and experience the full extent of your love for me.
I love it when the healing starts
I find great comfort and relief when emotional, physical or spiritual healing begins.
And the doors stand open
Opportunities are available and accessible in front of me.
But the times I really feel your heart
The moments I feel the depth of your emotion and connection with me.
Are when I'm broken
Are when my vulnerability and hurt are exposed and raw.
I don't wanna wait until I die to see your glory
I don't want to have to die to experience the full extent of your majesty and divine power.
You are the living god who is with me and for me
You are the Almighty who is present and active in my life for my benefit.
So I, I wanna know your love
So I am asking to understand and experience your love for me.
Oh I, I wanna know your love
Oh, I desire to deeply understand and experience your love.
And oh to be in that place
And oh, how amazing it would be to experience that state of being.
Where we're past just longing
Where we have moved beyond simply desiring and yearning.
To know my daddy's embrace
To intimately know and feel the love and care of my Heavenly Father.
When I wake in the morning
When I start a new day with renewed energy and perspective.
I could read a book or sing a song if I wanted a daydream
I could engage in any fanciful activity if I simply wanted to pass the time.
Oh, but you are the living god, so I'm asking for reality
However, as you are the Almighty God, I am seeking true and authentic experiences with you.
So let all the walls come down
Let all the emotional and mental barriers be removed.
Just let all the walls come down
Allow every obstacle and weight to be lifted without hesitation.
'Til I'm grounded and rooted in love
Until I feel completely secure and deeply connected in love.
Grounded and rooted in love
Being fully and immovably established in love.

"I Don't Wanna Know"
Feels like we drove for a thousand miles
I would play you the songs that I wrote about you
I would sing you words that I would never say
Wish you'd never heard, if I'd known you wouldn't stay
I don't wanna know if you fall in love with someone new
If someone makes you happier than I could ever do
I don't wanna know
Watching the stories upon my phone
Seems like you found the one you want
And it just breaks me down like the car we used to own
Where our love was found, have you forgot about it all
I don't wanna know if you fall in love with someone new
If someone makes you happier than I could ever do
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
If you fall in love with someone new
If someone makes you happier than I could ever do
If he makes you cry, if he makes you laugh
If he gives you all the things that we could never have
Cause I can't face the truth
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
If he makes you cry, if he makes you laugh
If he gives you all the things that we could never have
Cause I can't face losing you

Watching the stories upon my phone

I don't wanna know if you fall in love with someone new
If someone makes you happier than I could ever do
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
[Bridge]
If you fall in love with someone new
If someone makes you happier than I could ever do
If he makes you cry, if he makes you laugh
If he gives you all the things that we could never have
'Cause I can't face the truth
[Chorus]
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
(I don't wanna know)
If he makes you cry, if he makes you laugh
If he gives you all the things that we could never have
'Cause I can't face losing you

Traduçao:
I Don't Wanna Know/Eu não quero saber
Parece que dirigimos por mil milhas
Eu tocaria para você as músicas que escrevi sobre você
Eu cantaria para você palavras que nunca diria
Gostaria que você nunca tivesse ouvido falar, se eu soubesse que você não ficaria
Eu não quero saber se você se apaixonou por alguém novo
Se alguém te fizer mais feliz do que eu poderia fazer
Eu não quero saber
Assistindo as histórias no meu telefone
Parece que você encontrou o que queria
E isso simplesmente me destrói como o carro que tínhamos
Onde nosso amor foi encontrado, você se esqueceu de tudo isso?
Eu não quero saber se você se apaixonou por alguém novo
Se alguém te fizer mais feliz do que eu poderia fazer
Eu não quero saber
Eu não quero saber
Se você se apaixonar por alguém novo
Se alguém te fizer mais feliz do que eu poderia fazer
Se ele te faz chorar, se te faz rir
Se ele te der todas as coisas que nunca poderíamos ter
Porque eu não consigo enfrentar a verdade
