I Can't Wait
Lizzie McGuire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't care
If it's rainin'
Or what I wear
I know today is taking me
Where I'm meant to be
Doesn't matter where I go
With my boy shoes
I'm waiting for a friend to call
Or the rain to fall
Life goes by
Who knows why
[Chorus:]
I can't wait for the world to spin
I can't wait to giving in
Ooh, What's it gonna take
I can't wait for the time to come
When I'll be shining like the sun
I can't wait (I can't wait)
Bum bum bum
Bum bum bum
Bum bum bum
Yeah
Everybody has their day
Where things just seem
To go their way
An angel's gonna
Smile on me
When it's meant to be
'Cause anything is possible
No matter how incredible
You never know who I might meet
On this crowded street
Life goes on
Life goes on
I can't wait for the world to spin
I can't wait to giving in
Ooh, what's it gonna take
I can't wait for the time to come
When I'll be shining like the sun
I can't wait
I haven't got forever
And I haven't got all day
Oooh, I don't want my world to stay the same
So where's a magic moment
To carry me away
Bum Bum Bum Bum
Bum Bum Bum
Bum Bum Bum
Yeah
Life goes by
I can't wait for the world to spin
I can't wait to givin in
Ooh, what's it gonna take
I can't wait for the time to come
When I'll be shining like the sun
I can't wait
I can't wait for the world to spin
I can't wait to give an end
I can't wait
I can't wait for the time to come
When I'll singing like the sun
I can't wait
I can't wait

Lol I'm 31 and still have it stuck in my head. Nostalgia hits me hard most days 🥺😔💔

The nostalgia this brings me is too much to explain. Takes me back to when I was 11 years old, and obsessed with this show. It was so wholesome and brought so much positivity to young millennials everywhere. The movie came out and I was just so enthralled with Disney channel at the time. It was truly so special. This song and time period had just something so sweet about it. Wish I could find the words.

Hearing this after 21 years really hit me in the feels. 😭 i was instantly transported back to 12 years old. 🥲😢

Lizzie McGuire was such a great character. She was quirky, funny, smart but not always, kindhearted, messy, clumsy, but altogether likeable. She had great friends and seemed to be well liked by her peers, although still had an enemy in Kate (whom she helped at Kate’s party even though Kate treated her awful before and after, and she helped Kate when Kate dislocated her shoulder). She never got the guy she had a huge crush on, but she didn’t let that crush her. And the show itself was great. Had a very subtle brand of humor that still makes me laugh today and actors who were great in their roles and had realistic chemistry with each other. This is one of the few shows that still holds up in my eyes.

Couldn’t agree more! This show is great and whenever I see anything about it, it takes me back to my childhood / makes me feel warm inside even when I’m sad

Yup just finished watching it last night and i'm crushed that the revival got cancelled.
RealityBytes
@Jackson Teller oh no, did it really?? I was excited about that!
Jackson Teller
@RealityBytes Yeah Disney cancelled it last year, they wanted a more family-friendly revival like Raven's House, Hilary and everyone else wanted a more adult revival(think of it like how seasons 5-7 of Sabrina the Teenage Witch dealt with more adult topics compared seasons 1-4).
