Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you're so weak to say the same thing
And burn a hole into your apprehensiveness
And let the wildfire shine
And repeat after me
Good girls go to heaven,
And bad girls go everywhere
And tonight I will love you
(Precious little diamond)
(I leave it all to you)
(Precious little diamond)
(Let it come to you)
(Precious little, precious little diamond)
(I leave it all to you)
(Precious little diamond)
(Let it come to you)
You're in love with something bigger than love
You believe in something stronger than trust
Wanderlust
Wanderlust
Don't you shy away from me
Just sacrifice
Your every last, inhibition, I'm on your side
Don't patronize, you know tonight
Is the only time we'll have each other
Why, would you try
To waste this precious time?
'Cause tonight I'll be right here
And tomorrow you won't care
(Precious little diamond)
Precious little diamond (I leave it all to you)
I leave it all to you
(Precious little diamond)
Precious little diamond (Let it come to you)
Ooh hoo hoo
(Precious little, precious little diamond)
Brighter than a diamond (I leave it all to you)
I leave it all to you
(Precious little diamond)
Precious little diamond (Let it come to you)
You're in love with something bigger than love
You believe in something stronger than trust
Wanderlust
Wanderlust
They're in love with this idea of love
It's a shame that they'll believe it will come
For us all
For us all
You're in love with something bigger than love
You believe in something stronger than trust
Wanderlust

The Weeknd's "Wanderlust" is a song about the thrill of living life to the fullest and indulging in the moment. The opening lines suggest a sense of repetition and monotony in life and how it's difficult to break away from it. The lines, "Is it so hard to say the same thing? And you're so weak to say the same thing" indicate that the singer and his lover want to break free from their mundane lives and indulge in something wild and exciting.
The chorus, "You're in love with something bigger than love, You believe in something stronger than trust," is a invitation to experience something greater than the usual definition of love and trust. The singer is urging his lover not to waste this opportunity to experience something more significant and precious.

Overall, "Wanderlust" is a song that urges its listeners not to be afraid to break free from the monotony of life and to indulge in something more significant and thrilling.
Line by Line Meaning
Is it so hard to say the same thing?
Why is it difficult to just express the same thing?
And you're so weak to say the same thing
You lack the strength to communicate what you truly feel.
And burn a hole into your apprehensiveness
Overcome your apprehensions and let your true feelings come out.
And let the wildfire shine
Allow your passions to take over and light up your life.
And repeat after me
Listen and follow what I say.
Good girls go to heaven,
Suggesting that obedient girls go to heaven.
And bad girls go everywhere
Misbehaving girls go anywhere they want.
And tonight I will love you
I will show my love for you tonight.
And tomorrow you won't care
But tomorrow, I will not matter to you anymore.
(Precious little diamond)
This line is just a repeating chorus throughout the song.
(I leave it all to you)
The singer entrusts everything to the person he's singing to.
(Let it come to you)
Let the good things in life come to you naturally.
(Precious little, precious little diamond)
Another repetition of the chorus.
You're in love with something bigger than love
You have a love for something beyond just romantic love.
You believe in something stronger than trust
Your beliefs go beyond just trusting someone.
Wanderlust
Desire to travel and explore new horizons.
Don't you shy away from me
Don't be afraid to show me who you truly are.
Just sacrifice
Give up your inhibitions and surrender to your desires.
Your every last, inhibition, I'm on your side
I'm here for you to support you while you let go of all your inhibitions.
Don't patronize, you know tonight
Don't be insincere, you know what's happening tonight.
Is the only time we'll have each other
Tonight is the only time we have to be together.
Why, would you try
Why would you waste this opportunity?
To waste this precious time?
I don't want to let this moment slip away.
'Cause tonight I'll be right here
I'll be here with you tonight.
And tomorrow you won't care
But tomorrow, I won't mean anything to you.
They're in love with this idea of love
People are in love with the concept of love, not necessarily the person.
It's a shame that they'll believe it will come
It's a pity that they believe love will just happen without them working for it.
For us all
For everyone.
(House, house, house)
This line is repeated multiple times and serves as an instrumental break.
Brighter than a diamond
Something that is shiny and valuable.
