I Want You to Know
Zedd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You and me bleed the same light
I want you to know that I'm all yours
You and me run the same course
I'm slippin' down a chain reaction
And here I go, here I go, here I go, go
And once again, I'm yours in fractionsIt takes me down, pulls me down, pulls me down low
Honey, it's rainin' tonight
But storms always have an eye, have an eye
Tell me you're covered tonight
Or tell me lies, tell me lies, lies, lies, lies
I want you to know that it's our time
You and me bleed the same light
I want you to know that I'm all yours
You and me, we're the same force
I want you to know that it's our time
You and me bleed the same light
I want you to know that I'm all yours
You and me run the same course
(I want you)
(I want you)
I want you to know that it's our time
You and me bleed the same light
I'm better under your reflection
But did you know, did you know, did you know, know
That's anybody else that's met ya
It's all the same, all the same, all the same glow
Honey, it's rainin' tonight
But storms always have an eye, have an eye
Tell me you're covered tonight
Or tell me lies, tell me lies, lies, lies
I want you to know that it's our time
You and me bleed the same light
I want you to know that I'm all yours
You and me, we're the same force
I want you to know that it's our time
You and me bleed the same light
I want you to know that I'm all yours
You and me run the same course
You and me run the same course
(I want you)
(I want you)
I want you to know that it's our time
You and me bleed the same light
I want you to know that I'm all yours
You and me run the same course

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since I Want You to Know came out! Time really flies. This song is hands down my favorite, and Selena absolutely stole the show, she looked stunning, and her voice fit so perfectly with Zedd’s production. The flicker effect before the first drop was such a cool touch, and the way the beat builds from 1:23 to 1:53 gives me chills every time and at 2:02 Selena flipping her hair right as the beat crashes is 🔥, she was truly in her element in this era, and it showed! The final drop from 2:59 to 3:43🤌🏻, Pure Magic. I miss this kind of EDM, and I wish more songs had this level of energy and emotion. I’d love for Selena to include a song with this kind of vibe on her new album, it would be amazing to hear her on a track like this again!
