What You Wanted
Passionate Devotion: Unveiling the Depths of Love in OneRepublic's 'What You Wanted'
Lyrics
I'll find the places where you hide
I will search for the places where you try to conceal yourself
I'll be the dawn on your worst night
I will bring light to your darkest moments
The only thing left in your life
The only significant thing remaining in your life
Yeah I would kill for you, that's right
Expressing a willingness to go to extreme lengths for you, even if it involves harm
If that's what you wanted
Repetition emphasizing a commitment to fulfill your desires
If that's what you wanted
-If that's what you wanted
-If that's what you wanted
-I'll put your poison in my veins
Willingness to endure harm by ingesting your poison, metaphorically or literally
They say the best love is insane, yeah
Suggesting that intense, even irrational, love is considered the best
I'll light your fire till my last day
Promising to ignite passion until the end of days
I'll let your fields burn around me, around me
Metaphorical willingness to endure destruction for your sake
If that's what you wanted
Repeated expression of a commitment to fulfill your desires
If that's what you wanted
-If that's what you wanted
-If that's what you wanted
-I'll run now, 'cause this time
Deciding to escape or distance oneself, perhaps due to the intensity of the situation
Oh, my love is true
Affirming the sincerity and truthfulness of the love
Tell me, something I wouldn't do
Requesting information about something that the speaker wouldn't hesitate to do
If that's what you wanted
Reiterated commitment to fulfill your desires
If that's what you wanted
-If that's what you wanted
-If that's what you wanted
-If that's what you wanted
Repetition emphasizing a continued commitment to fulfilling your desires
If that's what you wanted
-If that's what you wanted
-If that's what you wanted
