I Want You
Mitski Lyrics

I want you

I hold one card

That I can't use

But I want you

You're coming back

And it's the end of the world

We're starting over
The return of the person marks a new beginning for the singer.

And I love you darling
The singer is expressing their love to the person upon their return.

And I am done, dear
The singer feels relieved and at peace upon the person's return.

You're in the house
The person is physically present in the singer's house.

And I am here in the car
The singer is physically distant from the person and seeks solitude.

'Cause I just need a quiet place
The singer desires a peaceful environment where they can gather their thoughts or emotions.

Where I can scream
The singer wants to release or express their strong feelings or emotions.

How I love you
The singer's strong feelings and emotions are centered on their love for the person.

I found you
The singer has discovered or located the person they desire.

I found the door

But when I stepped through
Despite finding a way to approach the person, something unexpected or challenging occurred.

There was no floor
The singer encountered a sudden and profound lack of support or stability in their approach to the person.

I want you
The singer reiterates their strong desire for the person they love.
