Can't Hardly Feel
Banks & Steelz Lyrics

What happened to us?
Asking why the relationship with the girl deteriorated

What's going on?
Asking what led to the end of their relationship

Where did we go wrong?
Asking where things went south in the relationship

I can't hardly feel your love
The girl's love feels distant and not genuine

It all just seems so real
Despite doubts, the relationship may be authentic

I could be dreaming through my gold eyes
The singer may be blinded by the thrill of the moment

The cypher's incomplete, undone
Something is missing in the relationship

If everything is real
Despite doubts, the artist hopes their relationship is genuine

I could be speeding to a cold sore
The artist may be headed towards negative consequences

Have you ever had this feeling once in your life
Asking if the listener can relate to the artist's experience

In which you like a girl so much
Describing how strongly the singer feels about the girl

You wish that she was your wife
The artist desires a long-term commitment with the girl

She's not your girl, she's barely a friend
The girl is not officially in a relationship with the singer

Just someone you see every now and then
The singer and the girl only have occasional encounters

Although seemed impossible my heart has been touched
Despite the odds, the girl has won over the singer's heart

By this girl who I desperately want in my clutch
The artist wants to have a physical and emotional relationship with the girl

As time goes on, I got to know her
The artist has developed a deeper relationship with the girl over time

And the love that I had inside, I had to show her
The singer wants to express their love to the girl

She had a man but we had brunches together
The girl was already in a relationship but still spent time with the singer

The waitress had a hunch that we wanted each other
The waitress suspected that the artist and the girl had feelings for each other

And yo, she was right
Confirming that the waitress's suspicions were true

By the end of the night, we satisfied each other's appetite
The artist and the girl had a physical encounter

I can't hardly speak
The singer is speechless due to their emotions

My love
The artist expresses their love for the girl

You truly are unique
The singer views the girl as special and different from other girls

I should have seen you to the goodtimes
The singer wishes they had appreciated their times together

Caramel complexion
Describing the girl's complexion

We had a strong connection
The artist had a strong bond with the girl

But somewhere we went the wrong direction
The relationship took a turn for the worse

On long walks I would stop to listen
The singer and the girl used to go on walks and have deep conversations

To the sound of the city local street musicians
Describing the atmosphere of the walks they used to go on

She lost interest, cut me off in mid-sentence
The girl stopped being interested in the artist's conversation

The rain storm grew to a tempest
The situation between the artist and the girl escalated into a heated argument

The light at the end of the tunnel was a train
The situation took a turn for the worse

Shock at the end of the rumble, wasn't pain
Despite the negative outcome, the singer wasn't too hurt

We stumbled, but who could we blame?
The artist accepts that both parties were at fault for the failure of their relationship

The oxycontin, weed, alcohol or cocaine
The singer wonders if drugs played a role in the downfall of their relationship

We pushed out limits in the streets of Venice
The singer and the girl indulged in risky behavior together

Passage for lovers, we only stayed a minute, wow
Describing their brief romantic encounter in Venice

But every time we meet it will be deep of course
The artist knows that any encounter with the girl will be significant

Eight years later
Describing a significant gap in time from their previous encounter

In a hotel lobby
The singer and the girl meet again in a public setting

I'm multi-platinum, everybody loving Bobby
The singer is successful and well-known

And I saw her
The artist sees the girl again

Still had some feelings for her
The artist still has emotional attachment to the girl

She looked lonely and lost
Describing the girl's current state

I heard her man divorced her
The girl is no longer in a relationship

I took her upstairs to my room and I tossed her
The artist and the girl have a physical encounter again

And all my past desires had lust reforged
The singer's old desires return with the physical encounter

But when I looked into her eyes she lost her aura
Describing the change in the girl's demeanor after the physical encounter

These are not the same girls
The singer realizes that the girl is not the same as they had remembered

Can you imagine
Asking the listener to empathize with the artist

They're not the same
Reinforcing the fact that the girl has changed

That wanting is better than having
The singer reflects on how they used to desire the girl more than they actually enjoyed having a relationship with her

Psst its crazy
Commenting on the unpredictable nature of love and relationships

It's not the same (its not the same)
Reiterating that the girl has changed since their last encounter

I can't feel you no more (your love)
The artist no longer feels the girl's love

It truly was unique
Reflecting on the positive aspects of their past relationship

I should have seen it through the first time
The singer regrets not being able to hold on to the girl in their first encounter

I can't feel you
Reiterating the fact that the artist no longer feels the girl's presence

I can't feel you no more
Reiterating that the singer no longer feels the girl's presence
