The Wanted Glad You Came






The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away,
Away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me

My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

I'm glad you came
So glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came




















The first and second paragraph for " the wanted" "Glad you came"


Based on the complete lyric of the song above, I think the main idea of the song The Wanted's “Glad You Came” tells us about a man's excitement in his first date with a girl he has been crushing on. All the lyric lines show how excited he is. The theme of this song is shown through paraphrasing, connotation, and tone.

As explicitly stated in the title, the man is so glad that the girl came. But, what makes him so glad? Is it just the girl's coming? It's the girl's coming, which make him so glad. It's something indicated with her coming which makes him excited. Based on the line 'my universe will never be the same' I guess it indicates that she responds positively to his love or in another word she accepts his love. Yes, his universe will never be the same since from then on he is not be lonely anymore. He has a girlfriend.

In the second verse, the man expresses his admiration to the girl, which is commonly done by who is falling in love and having new romantic relationship. He adores her so much that he feels like under her spell. He is crushing on her so much that when she shows positive response, she feels like the sky fell on him. And finally, knowing that the girl accepts his love, he has gut to ask her go somewhere just both of them.

Meanwhile, if you want to know what the man is doing in their first date, you can see it clearly in the third verse. Just like you and me, in this very first date the man is trying to convince her that her decision to accept his love is not a mistake. It seems to me that this is a kind of promise.
