Wanted
Megan & Liz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

’d get in my car and drive a thousand miles away
If it’s what you wanted
I’d take your number out my phone I’d go it alone
If it’s what you wanted

I’d spend the night alone
With ghosts on the radio
I’d Let go

But I would turn around
In a heartbeat
Faster than the ground
Where the tires meet
Fire on the road
Edge of Control
Your touch is all I need
To bring me down onto my knees
Like a heart that’s haunted you know what’s wrong and
you could restart it
If it’s what you wanted

I’d change these locks and give you the key
Give my new address in invisible ink
If it’s what you wanted

I’ll tell myself what I need to hear
Hit the gas and rip off the rearview mirror
If it’s what you wanted

I’ll spend the nights alone




With ghosts on the radio
I’d let go

I'd free myself of you, listen to melancholic music, and deal with my emotions until they subside.


But I would turn around In a heartbeat Faster than the ground Where the tires meet
Despite my efforts to run away from you, I know deep inside that I would come running back to you, as I can't imagine life without you.


Fire on the road Edge of Control Your touch is all I need To bring me down onto my knees
You have the power to seduce me with your touch, drive me crazy, and make me submit to your every whim.


Like a heart that’s haunted you know what’s wrong and you could restart it If it’s what you wanted
You're aware that my heart is tormented, and you have the power to fix it if you wanted to, although I know that you never will.

I'll keep myself company while listening to depressing music, process my emotions healthily, and let go of everything that ties me to you.
