I Wanna
The All - American Reject Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can finally see the truth
It's me for you
Tonight you can't imagine that I'm by your side
Cause it's never gonna be the truth
Too far for you
But can you hear me say?
And there's no way out
I gotta hold you somehow
I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Everyday but all I have is time
Our loves the perfect crime
I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Every way and when they set me free
Just put your hands on me
Take everything that I know you'll break
And I give my life away
So far for you
But can you hear me say
Don't throw me away
There's no way out
I gotta hold you somehow
I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Everyday but all I have is time
Our loves the perfect crime
I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Every way and when they set me free
Just put your hands on me
Tonight I'm weak
It's just another day without you
That I can't sleep
I gave the world away for you to
Hear me say
Don't throw me away
There's no way out
I gotta hold you somehow
All I wanna do is touch you
I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Everyday but all I have is time
Our loves the perfect crime
I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Every way and when they set me free
Just put your hands on me
I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Everyday but all I have is time
Our loves the perfect crime
I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Every way and when they set me free
Just put your hands on me
In the song "I Wanna" by The All-American Rejects, the lyrics express a deep longing for physical affection and a deep emotional connection. The song starts by acknowledging the singer's past blindness to their feelings, and the fact that they can now see the truth: that they want to be with a specific person. Despite feeling too far away from that person and probably facing rejection, the singer still wants to be close to them and hold them; they don't want to be thrown away or forgotten. The lyrics continue to express the urgency and longing for touch and affection, even if it means giving everything up.
The chorus emphasizes this longing for contact and the reciprocation of that touch. The singer desires to touch the person they love and be touched by them, almost recklessly. They acknowledge that their love might be seen as a crime or mistake, but the lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to take that risk. Finally, the last verse emphasizes just how much the singer needs this person- they can't sleep without them and feel weak in their absence.
This song, with its pleading lyrics and catchy beat, resonates with listeners who are experiencing unrequited love or those who are simply in need of affection. It is also an excellent example of The All-American Rejects' knack for writing emotional, accessible rock songs.

I never thought that I was so blind
I used to be ignorant, but now I see the truth
It's me for you
I am committed to you
Tonight you can't imagine that I'm by your side
Cause it's never gonna be the truth
Too far for you
Even though I'm physically here for you tonight, I know this relationship has no future and is not what you really want
But can you hear me say?
Don't throw me away
And there's no way out
I gotta hold you somehow
Please don't give up on me, I am determined to make this work somehow
I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Everyday but all I have is time
Our loves the perfect crime
I desire physical intimacy with you, and I know you feel the same. Our love is exciting and feels dangerous as we can't be open about it.
Take everything that I know you'll break
And I give my life away
So far for you
I am willing to risk everything for you even though I know you may hurt me in the end.
Tonight I'm weak
It's just another day without you
That I can't sleep
I gave the world away for you to
I feel helpless without you, and I have sacrificed everything for you
All I wanna do is touch you
Physical connection is all I crave with you
Every way and when they set me free
Just put your hands on me
I want to feel your touch in every possible way, even after being set free

Tinksmorbid filming aint cheap. Some stuff you gotta do if you wanna do a video with a better budget. PS I thought it was a clever way to do the product placement
