I Can
Myron Butler & Levi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said that this probably won't work out, no
And I should go on another route, mmm
Sometimes silence can be so loud, yeah
So can you something or at least make a sound? Yeah
Oh, overthinking's gonna kill us both, oh whoa
You dreamed that I saved you from sinking boat, mmm
Then I screamed "my love is gonna stay afloat"
It's very typical for me to say
For me to do
'Cause who am I if I'm not with you?
It's a game we play
And it's a crying shame
That I didn't quit a long time ago
But what can I do now?
Where do I go now?
Tell me what can I do now?
It's lame as fuck, it really sucks
But I'm feeling stuck, okay
What can I do now?
Where do I go now? (Where do I go?)
Tell me what can I do now? (Tell me what can I do?)
It's lame as fuck, it really sucks
But I'm feeling stuck
Yeah
I wanted to change your last name
For you I'd stop a running train
And jump off an aero plane
But you wouldn't do the same
My intentions were all good
By now we'd be in Hollywood
Raising kids, building a family
Man, it sucks to be this dude
Who gets caught up and won't let go (let go)
Gave up on all his goals
I really need to change this flow (yeah, uh, whoo)
Okay
I think that I need to relax (ayy)
Put all of this shit in the past (yeah)
Quit loving you, never relapse, no, no
I wanna be real, I don't wanna wear masks
So many things that I need to digest
But maybe I should send another last text?
It's such a stupid thing for me to say
For me to do
I gave my all you didn't do it too
It's a brand new day
But I feel the same
And mothing has change
I got to one to blame
But what can I do now?
Where do I go now?
Tell me what can I do now?
It's lame as fuck, it really sucks
But I'm feeling stuck, okay
What can I do now?
Where do I go now? (Where do I go?)
Tell me what can I do now? (What can I do?)




It's lame as fuck, it really sucks
But I'm feeling stuck
