What I Want
The Go Find Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's the perfect time to decide
To come around
To tell you that I wanna be
Forever in your eyes
You see, I'm going to be honest with you
I'm never gonna let a lie slip out
And although it's hard to keep
This promise
One, two
It's what you want, I can tell
Two, minus three
It's what I want, I can tell
It's the perfect time to decide
To come around
To tell you that I wanna be
Forever in your eyes
You see, I'm going to be honest with you
Gonna let a lie slip out
I'm gonna let a lie slip out
One, two
It's what you want, I can tell
Two, minus three
It's what I want
One, two
It's what you want, I can tell
Two, minus three
It's what I want, I can tell
Too much is never enough
When it comes up to you
(I can tell)
Too much is never enough
(Two, minus three)
When it comes up to you
(It's what I want)
(I can tell)
Too much is never enough
(Two, minus three)
When it comes up to you
(It's what I want)
(I can tell)
Too much is never enough
(Two, minus three)
When it comes up to you
(It's what I want)
(I can tell)
Too much is never enough
(Two, minus three)
When it comes up to you
(It's what I want)
(I can tell)
Too much is never enough
(Two, minus three)
When it comes up to you
(It's what I want)
(I can tell)
Too much is never enough

When it comes up to you
(It's what I want)

Overall Meaning

The song "What I Want" by The Go Find is a declaration of love and honesty towards the person they want to be forever with. The song starts with the singer acknowledging that it's the perfect time to make a decision about their relationship. They are determined to come clean, to be honest, and to never let a lie slip out. The chorus repeats the line "It's what you want, I can tell; It's what I want, I can tell" which means that they both share the same feelings towards each other.


The second verse follows the same structure as the first one, but with a small change in the lyrics: "I'm never gonna let a lie slip out" changes to "I'm gonna let a lie slip out." This emphasizes that being honest takes a lot of effort and it's tempting to keep things hidden. The chorus repeats again, but this time with an added line "Too much is never enough when it comes up to you." This line means that their love for the other person is so strong that even if they do everything they can to show their love, there is always something more they can do.


One interesting fact about The Go Find is that it's actually a one-man band project by Dieter Sermeus. The band started in 2004 and has released several albums since then. Another interesting fact is that the band's music has been described as "indie pop," "synth-pop," and "dream pop." The song "What I Want" was released in 2007 as part of their album "Stars on the Wall."
