Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like walking 'round with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with the butterflies (ooh) and it's alright
Bouncin' round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied
Every time I try to talk to you
Turns out that everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
Whens this fever gonna break?
I think I've handled more than any man can take
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasin' you around
(Ooh)And it's alright
Bouncin round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied
Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out that everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
(Only second time through)
And slowly I begin to realize this is never gonna end
Right about the same time you walk by
And I say 'Oh here we go again' oh
Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out that everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
The song "Why Don't You & I" by Chad Kroeger is a love song that talks about someone who is deeply in love with another person. From the very first time that the singer saw their love interest, they felt like they were walking around with little wings on their shoes. The feeling that they get around their love interest is like it is going to last forever, and they do not mind it at all. The singer is so tongue-tied whenever they try to talk to their love interest that they just refer to themselve as a love-sick puppy. They are just so in love with this person that they just can't seem to find the right words to say.
The singer then goes on to suggest that they both unite and take on the world as a team. He suggests that they fly to the moon and straight on to heaven so that they can be together forever because without the object of his affection, he feels like he'll never be allowed into heaven. In the second verse, the singer realizes that this love is never going to end and they feel tongue-tied every time they try to speak to their love interest.

@chuckincharlie776
I just saw Nickleback live, and i’m incredibly puzzled about why they are such a trashed on band. Chad sounded literally the exact same as he does on albums and they were incredible live!
@marcusbruns9729
The vast majority of the general population is miserable. They have to shit on stuff others enjoy to try and make them miserable, as well.
@christianspain3015
Carlos Santana had multiple versions of this song with different vocal artists. However, I truly believe Chad's vocals were the best version hands down.
@JanRey526
Here to agree
@hardbully69
AGREE
@forensicsciencefan5645
Agreed! I don't think Alex Band's singing voice, as deep as it seemed FOR HIS PHYISICAL BUILD at the time, holds a candle on Chad Kroeger's here.
@adamcoe
Super mind blowing that the guy who wrote the song sings it the best, who knew
@marcusbruns9729
Chad wrote the song and was originally supposed to be the vocals. An issue with his record label prevented it.
@CharlieBella-ry9li
Chad Kroeger has written a song that has covered just about every event in my life. Now one for the love of my life! Thank you Sir you’re musical genius!
@tamila1082
I love, love, love Chad Kroeger's voice😍😍😍😍😍
