Can't Wait
Foreigner Lyrics

I've been on this road a long time
I've been on this journey for a long time, possibly both physically and emotionally.

I've been travellin' for days
I've been travelling for an extended period, possibly feeling exhausted and drained.

But it seems I'm getting nowhere
Despite my effort, I'm not making any progress or getting any closer to my destination.

I just can't find my way
I'm feeling lost and unsure about which direction to take.

I've been following directions, but they must be out of date
I've been trying to follow guidance from past experiences or sources, but they may no longer be applicable or helpful in my current situation.

And I can't, and I can't, and I can't, no I can't. Decide which road to take
I'm feeling indecisive and overwhelmed with the various options and possibilities before me.

See I've got to find my baby, Cause we need to work things out
I have an urgent need to locate and reconnect with a significant other to address unresolved issues or conflicts.

I've got to see that woman, I cannot do without her!
This person's presence and contribution are essential to my personal wellbeing and happiness, and I cannot imagine living without them.

You know I can't wait, can't wait another moment
I'm feeling an immense sense of urgency and eagerness to reconnect with this person as soon as possible.

I can't wait, I can't wait another heartbeat
Every single moment that goes by is unbearable, and I can't wait any longer.

No I can't wait, can't wait another moment
I'm emphasizing my impatience, and I'm trying to convey the importance of this situation and the weight it holds in my mind and heart.

I couldn't wait another heartbeat. I can't wait until midnight
I'm so anxious and restless that I can't even fathom waiting till midnight; every second feels like a lifetime.

And the nights go on forever
The time drags on, and it feels like each minute is endless.

These days I get no sleep
I'm struggling to fall asleep, mainly due to the overwhelming amount of thoughts and emotions on my mind.

And I miss her more than ever
I'm experiencing intense emotions of longing, loneliness, and possibly even heartbreak due to the separation or distance from this person.

Inside where love runs deep
My feelings of love and affection for this person run incredibly deep and are a core part of my identity and emotional make-up.

Oh I know I'm going to find her, cause I'm following this star
I'm feeling a sense of faith and hope that I will eventually locate this person due to following my gut instinct or intuition.

And I can't, and I can't, no I can't turn back. Oh lord, I've come so far
Even though I'm feeling lost and unsure, I'm determined to push forward and reach my goal and previous progress so far to make me feel like giving up.

And I'll know she'll whisper in my ear
I'm filled with hope and anticipation that once we reconnect, we will be able to communicate and exchange intimately; given the shared love between us.

'Bout all the things I've missed
I'm hopeful that with reconciliation, we can discuss the past problems and overcome the regrets and missed opportunities that have kept us apart.

She's got that way about her now. I never could resist
This person has a unique charm or magnetism that draws me to them, and despite past problems or challenges, I can't imagine turning my back on them.

Now I can't wait, No no no can't wait, No no no
This is repeated to emphasize and drive home the message of urgency and restlessness due to separation from this person.

Can't wait, No no no, Can't wait
This repetition continues the sense of eagerness and impatience felt by the singer and shows how their emotions have led to a temporary obsession with reuniting with their significant other.
