Can't Take It In
Imogen Heap Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm wide awake
Every hair on my body
Has got a thing for this place
Oh, empty my heart
I've got to make room for this feeling
It's so much bigger than me
It couldn't be anymore beautiful
I can't take it in
Weightless in love, unraveling
For all that's to come
And all that's ever been
We're back to the board
With every shade under the sun
Let's make it a good one
It couldn't be anymore beautiful
It couldn't be anymore beautiful
I can't take it in
La oh
I can't take it in
La oh
I can't take it in
Whoa
It couldn't be anymore beautiful
It couldn't be anymore beautiful
I can't take it in
More that I wonder
More than I ever needed
Whoa
More that I wonder
Oh

More than I ever needed
I never knew how much I wanted or needed this until I experienced it for myself

I cried

My heart aches and tears flood my eyes. I remember the little girl watching this movie for the first time. The goosebumps, the tears the untainted innocence. The nostalgia I feel can't be put in words. After 10 years this movie still moves me deeply. It makes me feel the same way it did 10 years ago when I was but a teenager with no problems. Now even tho adulthood has invaded my life I know that girl is still alive roaming the woods of my own little world.

What a beautiful comment
@Mrnickstr89
Feel the same way. What moved me about this song was that it perfectly incapsulated just what I was feeling and thinking after seeing the final scene of the film. I've been a Heapster ever since.

Noble 6 Hahahahaha...Well I don't know about anyone else but my biggest problems as a teenager was that my dad wouldn't let me date or go out till late. Looking back now, those seem to be like pretty good problems for one to have. I seriously wish those were still my problems.
