Wherever You Go
Sublime f/Rome Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna be mad at the world like it took you away
Don't wanna be mad at myself for my stupid mistakes
I wanna go back, I wanna be mad, I wanna go back to the days
Just tell me we can
Just for the weekend
Go somewhere far, go somewhere nice, yeah
Gone in a blink, yeah
Just you and I, we'll move it slow
Wherever you go
I wanna know
I wanna walk with you to the shore
Break down the walls
Run through the fire
Promise me now you'll always stay wild
Wherever you go
I wanna know
Don't let me go
Don't let me wander out your sight
I'm gonna be mad when I show up and there's somebody there
Inside of my bed sleeping with you, man I'll shoot him right there
I wanna go back to the days when it was all in my head
I wanna go back, I wanna get mad, I wanna go back to the lies
Just tell me we can
Just for the weekend
Go somewhere far, go somewhere nice, yeah
No time for thinking
Gone in a blink, yeah
Just you and I, we'll move it slow
Wherever you go
I wanna know
I wanna walk with you to the shore
Break down the walls
Run through the fire
Promise me now you'll always stay wild
Wherever you go
I wanna know
Don't let me go
Don't let me wander out your sight
Yeah
Oooooo
So let me out your sight
Oooooo
Searching for you through the night
Oooooo
Don't let me out your sight
No, no, no
Wherever you go
I wanna know
Wherever you go
I wanna know
Don't let me go
I wanna know
Wherever you go
I wanna know
Wherever you go
I wanna know
I wanna walk with you to the shore
Break down the walls
Run through the fire
Promise me now you'll always stay wild
Wherever you go
I wanna know
Don't let me go
Don't let me wander out your sight
No, no
(Wherever you go)
(Wherever you go)
(I wanna know)
(Don't let me wander out your sight)
(Wherever you go)
(I wanna know)
The lyrics to Sublime with Rome's song "Wherever You Go" convey the desire to escape from the struggles of life and to be free to live in the moment. At the same time, the song speaks to the desire for connection and the fear of losing that connection.

He's willing to put his trust in his partner and go wherever she wants to go, to stay by her side no matter what.
The verses of the song express this longing, coupled with a sense of anger that things haven't always gone the way the singer wanted. He's mad at the world for taking his partner away, and he's mad at himself for his missteps. The choruses express the desire to embrace life and love fully, breaking down walls and running through fire with the partner. The repetition of the line "Wherever you go, I wanna know" underscores the importance of the bond between them, and the fear of losing it.
