I just want to be wanted
So bad
And if I’m not I really can’t handle that
Talk a lot of shit
Well you can’t take the shit back
Is this in my head?
You should know that
I don’t know that
Secret meetings of voices that gave themselves
Permanent seating
But the truth is they don’t know what
Secrets they’re keeping
It’s feeling misleading
Is someone ever gonna care like I do
Is someone ever gonna love the way that I’ll love you
I just wanna get out of my head
But if I do promise you’ll let me back in again (in again)
La da di de da
I didn’t want to be alone
Laughing when the king has lost his throne
No one knows the messages on my phone
Except you alone (you alone)
I just want to be wanted
So bad
And if I’m not I really can’t handle that
Talk a lot of shit
Well you can’t take the shit back
Is this in my head?
You should know that
I don’t know that
About Wanted:
I wrote this song when I was on a hike at Alvarado Park. I was very emotional this day because it was a gemini full moon and I have a gemini moon. The first part that I wrote was the chorus. The line “I just wanna get out of my head, but if I do promise you’ll let me back in again” really was the starting point. It is referencing dissociating and not being able to feel connected to myself. My close friend Jade Snow, who wrote Crushing with me, came over and helped we write out chords for Wanted.
