I Wanna Love
Scout Niblett Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just hear the rain down
I wish that you were near me
There's no one else the rain down
I wish that you could hear me

I know you've got to have pain
In order to grow
I think I am ready darling
I will accept them both
For love

My body tends toward happy
My heart longs for something new
Sometimes you got to have it
That's the way I feel about you

I know you've gotta give
In order to get it back
I think I am ready darling
I know just what I flag
This love

I wanna, I wanna
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna love
I wanna love

I went to work this morning
Everything in the same old place
It hit me like a warnin'
You succeed in your faith

I'm gonna take this train
Drive it right off the tracks
I think I'm ready darling
I know I'm switchin' fast
For love

I wanna
I wanna
I wanna
I wanna
I wanna love
I wanna love




I wanna love
I wanna love
