I Just Wanna Know
Longing for Love: Jordie Lane's Yearning in 'I Just Wanna Know'
Lyrics
I just wanna know that you'll love me
I desire assurance that you will love me.
I just wanna know that you'll care
I desire assurance that you will care for me.
When times oh they'll get rough
In challenging times, I want your support.
From that everyday stuff
Seeking comfort from the struggles of everyday life.
I just wanna know that you'll love me
Reiteration of the desire for love and reassurance.
Now a bar man named Frank sets down glasses for two
Introducing a character named Frank in a bar setting.
I said, no sir, tonight it's just me
Declining company and preferring solitude.
Frank said, now you listen here
Frank advises the speaker to cope with their emotions.
I can tell that you're blue
Frank senses the speaker's sadness.
Drink the first one for her
Suggesting a symbolic gesture of toasting for closure.
And the second for you
Drinking to cope with personal struggles.
But I'm fooling no one
Admitting that the speaker is not deceiving anyone.
To claim that Im fine
Rejecting the claim of being fine while struggling.
If I can't love you
Expressing the difficulty of coping without love.
I don't think I'll make it tonight
The speaker doubts their ability to endure the night without love.
I just wanna know that you'll love me
Reiteration of the desire for love and reassurance.
I just wanna know that you'll care
Repeating the desire for care and support.
When times oh they'll get rough
Emphasizing the need for support during tough times.
From that everyday stuff
Seeking comfort from the challenges of everyday life.
I just wanna know that you'll be there
Desiring assurance of presence in difficult moments.
Now I think I'm ok on my own
The speaker believes they can be fine alone.
I don't need a watch, nor a home
Expressing self-sufficiency without material possessions.
Just the wind as my guide
Valuing the simplicity of nature as a guide.
Don't need god on my side
Rejecting the need for divine assistance.
Just me, myself, on my own
Embracing individuality and independence.
But I'm fooling no one
Admitting that self-sufficiency may be a facade.
If I said it was true
Challenging the truthfulness of claiming independence.
Cause I can't get through this
Acknowledging the difficulty of facing challenges without love.
Without loving you
Emphasizing the necessity of love to overcome difficulties.
I can't get through this
Repetition for emphasis on the importance of love.
Without loving you
Underscoring the vital role of love in overcoming challenges.
