I Wanna
Jur-Maine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The only thing I'm really sure of
I'm unsure of almost everything
But I'm looking up and looking forward
There's nothing back there for you or me

So you say you are
Broken, beaten
Used and mistreated
Tired, shattered
Bruised and battered
The only thing I'm really sure of
I'm unsure of almost everything
But I know, I know, I

I only wanna talk to you
I only wanna talk to you
I only wanna talk to you
I only wanna talk to you
I only wanna talk to you, now
I only wanna talk to
To you

You see, yesterday I said tomorrow
I learned today tomorrow can't be saved
And the less you know the more

You say you're
Broken, beaten
Used and mistreated
Tired, shattered
Bruised and battered
The only thing I'm really sure of
I'm unsure of almost everything
But I know, I know, I

I only wanna talk to you
I only wanna talk to you
I only wanna talk to you
(Ahhh)
I only wanna talk to you
I only wanna talk to you
I only wanna talk to you
To you
(Ahhh)

I will speak in cursive
About the way it was
When days were young
But now the clock talks so loud
Articulate and perfect
About the way it is
And we ain't kids
The clock, it always talks so loud
And did you know?
I only wanna talk to you, I

I only wanna talk to you
I only wanna talk to you
I only wanna talk to you
Oh, I only wanna talk
I only wanna talk to you
I only wanna talk to you
I only wanna talk to you
Talk to you, talk to you, oh




(Yeah)
I only wanna talk to you

Line by Line Meaning

The only thing I'm really sure of
I have very little certainty about anything else


I'm unsure of almost everything
I lack confidence and clarity in most aspects of life


But I'm looking up and looking forward
Nevertheless, I remain optimistic and hopeful


There's nothing back there for you or me
The past holds no value or promise for either of us


So you say you are
You claim to be


Broken, beaten
Damaged and defeated


Used and mistreated
Exploited and abused


Tired, shattered
Exhausted, broken into pieces


Bruised and battered
Injured and harmed


I only wanna talk to you
My sole desire is to communicate with you


You see, yesterday I said tomorrow
In the past, I often postponed things for the future


I learned today tomorrow can't be saved
But now I understand that the future cannot be preserved


And the less you know the more
The less knowledge you possess, the greater the uncertainty


I will speak in cursive
I will express myself in a flowing and stylized manner


About the way it was
Regarding how things used to be


When days were young
In the innocent and carefree times of our youth


But now the clock talks so loud
However, the passage of time is prominent and overwhelming


Articulate and perfect
Precise and flawless


About the way it is
Regarding the current reality


And we ain't kids
And we are no longer children


The clock, it always talks so loud
The relentless ticking of time remains prominent


And did you know?
By the way, were you aware?


Oh, I only wanna talk
Oh, my only desire is to have a conversation


Talk to you, talk to you, oh
Engage in a meaningful dialogue with you
