Like I Can
Gardiner Sisters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or the sweetest sound
She could be a preacher
When your soul is down
She could be a lawyer
On a witness stand but
She'll never love you
She could be a stranger
You gave a second glance
She could be a trophy
Of another man
She could have your humor
But I don't understand 'cause
She'll never love you
Like I can can can
Why are you looking down on all the wrong roads
When mine is the heart
And the soul to your soul?
There may be lovers who hold out there hands but
She'll never love you like I can can can
She'll never love you like I can can
A chance encounter
Of circumstance
Maybe she's a mantra
Keeps your mind entranced
She could be the silence
In this mayhem but then again
She'll never love you
Like I can can can
Why are you looking down on all the wrong roads
When mine is the heart
And the soul to your soul?
There may be lovers who hold out there hands but
She'll never love you like I can can can
She'll never love you like I can can can
She'll never love you like I can can
She'll never love you like I can
She'll never love you
Love you like I can
She'll never love you
Love you like I can
She'll never love you like I can
Why are you looking down on all the wrong roads
When mine is the heart
And the soul to your soul?
They may be lovers who hold out there hands but
She'll never love you like I can can can
She'll never love you like I can can can
She'll never love you like I can
The lyrics of Gardiner Sisters's song, "Like I Can," revolve around the idea that the person singing is the only one who truly understands and loves the subject of the song. The singer mentions several scenarios where the subject could be someone else's, such as a trophy or a lover that holds out their hand, but the singer is confident that this person and only this person can truly love the subject of the song. The lyrics also suggest that the subject of the song may be struggling, as the singer mentions that they could be a sinner, a soul in need of uplifting, or someone in need of a lawyer.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is the only one who can love the subject of the song like they can, and the bridge asks the question of why the subject is "looking down on all the wrong roads" when the singer's heart and soul are the ones that align.
Overall, the lyrics are about self-confidence and knowing one's own worth. The singer knows that they can offer something incredible and unique to the subject of the song, and that they shouldn't settle for someone else's love.
