What I Want to Do
Exploring Life's Essence: Seeking Love and Purpose
Lyrics
What I want to do is wake up to you
Expresses a desire to wake up beside the person addressed
Bathing in the morning's light
Envisioning a serene, peaceful beginning to the day
All I want to say is bomb's away
Using a playful phrase ("bomb's away") to ask if the person can be their companion for the night
Could you be my girl tonight
Asking if the person can be their romantic partner for the evening
Out here on the street
Describing the environment outside
We move around
Highlighting movement and activity in the surroundings
All that we need
Suggesting that everything required is present
So tell me
Asking the person a question
What do you believe makes the world go 'round
Inquiring about the person's beliefs on what drives the world
What do you believe makes the world go 'round
Repetition for emphasis on the query about the world's workings
What I want to do is find something new
Expresses a desire for something novel and exciting
Shiny like a brand new toy
Describing the desired discovery as fresh and appealing
All I want to take is what I make
Expressing a wish to claim what they create or earn
Feeling like a brand new boy
Feeling rejuvenated like a new, invigorated person
My sweet city days
Reflecting on pleasant days in the city
I try to slide and fade away
Seeking to disappear from those days
To nothing
Desire to escape or move on from past experiences
What do you believe makes the world go 'round
Repeating the inquiry about beliefs on what drives the world
What do you believe makes the world go 'round
Reiteration for emphasis on understanding the world's mechanisms
What do you believe makes it all keep turning as it's going down
Asking about what sustains the world's continuous motion despite challenges
Oh babe, you gotta know it's gonna have to go
Implying an acknowledgment of the impermanence of things, suggesting acceptance of change
'Cause lately all I know is the smile on your face
Observing the joy reflected in the person's smile
There's a feeling that will grow
Anticipating a growing emotional connection
And a doubt I can't erase
Admitting uncertainty or hesitation that persists
And the times I can't remember they will sink without a trace
Referencing forgotten moments that will fade away
What do you believe makes the world go 'round
Repetition of the question about what propels the world
