Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't know what you go
So you just give it away to anyone is looking
Next your heart wanna stop but she's refusing to stay
Oh, oh

So safe you love for somebody how earns it
Don't cave 'cause all the way will be worth it
Don't be something you're be round with no taste
Feel like you might come undone
But you're not the only one

'Cause we all just wanna to be wanted
Wanna be all somebody needs
Travel all just looking for something
That gives us a reason how believes

'Cause that don't matter what you going though
You hold on to the key
Let me know,
All just want to be wanted
So if you wanted let me hear you say

Oh, yeah, yeah your beautiful
Let everybody know
This is incurable, oh

You don't know how it's like calls room
Getting pulled in all directions
And since your parents give up you live with nowhere to go

Feel like you might come undone
But you're not the only one

'Cause we all just wanna to be wanted
Wanna be all somebody needs
Travel all just looking for something
That gives us a reason how believe

'Cause that don't matter what you going though
You hold on to the key
Yeah we all just wanna be wanted
So if you wanted let me hear you say

Oh, yeah, yeah your beautiful
Let everybody know
This is incurable, oh

So safe you love for somebody how earns it
Don't keep me 'cause all the way don't be worth it
Don't cave because 'cause all the way will be worth it

'Cause we all just wanna to be wanted
Wanna be all somebody needs
Travel all just looking for something
That gives us a reason how believe

'Cause that don't matter what you going though
You hold on to the key
Yeah we all just wanna be wanted
So if you wanted let me hear you say

Oh, yeah, yeah your beautiful
Let everybody know
This is incurable, oh





So safe you love for somebody how earns it
Don't cave 'cause all the way will be worth it

Overall Meaning

The song "To Be Wanted" by Plug in Stereo is a powerful message about the human desire for love and acceptance. The first verse addresses the tendency to give love away freely to anyone who is interested, but then becoming hurt when that love is not reciprocated. The lyrics implore the listener to hold onto their love and only give it to someone who has earned it. The chorus speaks to the universal desire to be wanted and needed by someone else, and the search that we all go through to find that one person who gives us a reason to believe in love. The bridge addresses the struggles of feeling lost and alone, but reminds us that we are not the only ones going through tough times. In the end, the message is one of hope and encouragement, reminding us to hold onto the key to our own happiness and to keep searching for someone who truly deserves our love.
