W.A.N.T.E.D Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Think of her like all day long
(Think of her like all day long)
That's why I make these fucking songs
(That's why I make these fucking songs)
But tell me what am I singing for
(Hey what are you thinking for)
If all she'll do is leave me sore
(If all she'll do is leave you sore)
Wish I knew the fucking answer to that question
So I wouldn't be a stressing
And I wouldn't be here fucking up
Wish I had a bottle
To drown all my sorrow
But you’d still flood my mind
And I'd waste all my time
Wish I can go on evening without over-thinking
About the shit that I said
But it's all stuck in my head
Wish I had a better understanding
Of what your perfect man is
But let's be honest
I'd be better off dead
If I could paint a perfect picture
bet I'd be there right with you
But you would prefer best friend
And don't you worry cause if I still can't get you




I’ll be there in the end
I'll be there in the end

Overall Meaning

These lyrics to W.A.N.T.E.D's song "Song" depict the agony and confusion that the singer is going through in a relationship. He thinks about his significant other all day long, which inspires him to create music, but he questions the purpose of his music if his lover is only causing him pain. He wishes he had all the answers to his doubts so that he would not worry so much or mess things up, but he doesn't. He wants to numb his sorrows with alcohol, but that wouldn't prevent his lover from occupying his mind. He even wishes that he didn't have to overthink everything he says and that he could understand better what his lover wants from him, but he can't. He knows that he's not the perfect man for her, and although he'd love nothing more than to be in a romantic relationship with her, he'd rather be her best friend than not be in her life at all.


Overall, these lyrics convey the frustration, pain, and confusion that come with loving someone who may not love you back in the same way. It shows the listeners that love is not always easy or a straight path, and that people shouldn't try to change themselves to fit someone else's ideal image of a perfect partner.

I write these songs to express my feelings for her and cope with the pain of not being with her


Hey what are you thinking for
What's the point of my songwriting if she'll only leave me hurt in the end?


If all she'll do is leave you sore
If she's only going to hurt me, what's the point of pursuing her?

"Wanted"

You know I'd fall apart without you
I don't know how you do what you do
'Cause everything that don't make sense about me
Makes sense when I'm with you

Like everything that's green, girl, I need you
But it's more than one and one makes two
Put aside the math and the logic of it
You gotta know you're wanted too

'Cause I wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted

Anyone can tell you you're pretty, yeah
And you get that all the time, I know you do
But your beauty's deeper than the make-up
And I wanna show you what I see tonight...

When I wrap you up
When I kiss your lips.
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
'Cause, baby, I wanna make you feel wanted

As good as you make me feel
I wanna make you feel better
Better than your fairy tales
Better than your best dreams
You're more than everything I need
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted

And I just wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
And never let you forget it
Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted
Baby, I wanna make you feel wanted

You'll always be wanted
