I Want You
Soundtrack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Want it but I need it now
I need it now
Feel attention overflow
Want it but I need it now
I need you now
Pushed it far beyond the reach
Blinded but I see it now
It's time to practice what I preach
The “good” in me
You'll see it now
When the world comes crashing down
I will hold you close before we hit the ground
Now when the world comes crashing down
We will overcome...
Overcome it all
Lust pumping adrenaline
You're in the double digits now
You must be proud
Lines re-sketched to draw me in
“I've never felt this way before”
You are a lying whore
I want everyone to know
That fucking you is a lie
Just ask that guy to your right
Sucked me in, sucked me dry
Mark these words
You'll never touch this skin (Again)
When the world comes crashing down
I will hold you close before we hit the ground
Now when the world comes crashing down
We will overcome...
Overcome it all
I finally found you
Screw-driving tools to keep
Those door-hinge legs together
Well, it won't last
Because I know
You feel the tension too
When the world comes crashing down
I won't hold you close before we hit the ground
When the world comes crashing down
I won't hold you close before we hit the ground
Now when the world comes crashing down
We won't overcome...
Overcome it all
When the world comes crashing down
Feel the tension overflow...
I feel so safe inside of you
(When the world comes crashing down)
I know deep down you feel it too
(When the world comes crashing down)
The lyrics to Soundtrack's song "I Want You" are filled with deep introspection and a sense of longing for someone or something that the singer can't seem to grasp. The opening lines of "All this time I've wasted, waiting for the world to end" suggest a sense of hopelessness and despair, as if the singer is simply going through the motions and waiting for something to happen, rather than actively pursuing their goals or dreams. The lines "Dizzy indecision, veering off the open road" and "Easy to resemble, hard to learn the workings of, this lonesome charade" further emphasize the singer's feelings of uncertainty and confusion, and the struggle to find their place in the world.
The chorus, "I can't wait to find you, I really hate that I'm alone," is both poignant and contradictory, indicating a desire to connect with someone or something, but also a deep-seated fear of being alone. The lines "I never know who I am, I only know what I'm not" and "I only see in the dark, but never kept to the night" hint at a struggle with self-identity and a tendency to get lost in the shadows rather than embracing the light. It's a sad and introspective song that speaks to the universal human desire for connection and understanding.
Line by Line Meaning
All this time I've wasted
Waiting for the world to end
I've spent a lot of time waiting for something catastrophic to happen.
Dizzy indecision
Veering off the open road
Anchors away
I'm feeling unsure and unstable in my life, like I'm drifting off course.
Lack of infrastructure
Someone hear me out
I'm dying inside
There's nowhere to hide
Where do I go
I feel like I don't have the support or resources I need in my life, and I'm feeling lost and alone.
Get back in the cage
Just keep me away
I'm staggering
I feel trapped and want to be isolated, and I'm struggling to keep going.
I can't wait to find you
I really hate that I'm alone
I'm yearning for connection with someone, and I hate feeling so isolated.
Easy to resemble
Hard to learn the workings of
This lonesome charade
I might seem a certain way on the surface, but it's hard for people to understand what's really going on inside me when I'm feeling so lonely and disconnected.
I'm filled with hesitation
Staring down the tide
It pulls you apart
It stabs in the dark
It carries away
I'm feeling apprehensive and uncertain about my life, and I feel like the currents of life are pulling me in different directions and tearing me apart.
I'm starting to see
The problem with me
Is everything
I'm realizing that the root of my struggles is a lot deeper than any one particular issue, and it's overwhelming.
I can feel you tonight
I can feel you
I feel a sense of hope or comfort that I might find connection and companionship with someone soon.
I never know who I am
I only know what I'm not
It doesn't make any sense
It doesn't further the plot
I never learn how to love
I only learn how to fight
I only see in the dark
But never kept to the night
I got a flurry of words
But I got nothing to say
And why does everything
Always end this way
If I asked you to let me go
Would you hold on, would you hold on
I try hard to let go but the pull is too great
Consumed with the promise
Of one last chance
Are you holding on
'Cause I'm still holding on
I'm struggling to understand myself and my circumstances, and I'm feeling jaded and hopeless about the possibility of finding love or happiness. I'm worried that if I let go of something, I'll be left with nothing, even though it might not be what I need or want. I'm consumed with the idea of one last opportunity to make things better, and I'm questioning whether holding on is worth it.

Meg Ryan at her most gorgeous and at her comedic funniest. What a delightful talent she was in this film.
Then, there is the brilliant Kevin Kline...
