I Can't Wait
O.M.O. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I now know wild Yukon highways fairly well
Though those boring Ontarian roads feel like home
So far apart, I can't keep both
How am I supposed to choose
Between the two?
There are two parts of me telling me two different things
I'm under the spell
Of getting close with a few folks I don't know well
Though there's one I really know who feels like home
I'm gonna' break somebody's heart, I can't keep both
How am I supposed to choose
Between the two?
I've got two parts of me telling me two different things
Please, don't make me choose
Don't make me choose
I'm so far apart, I'm gonna break my heart
I can't keep both
The lyrics of "I Can't Wait" by O.M.O. is about the dilemma of making choices in a situation where one is torn between two options. The first verse uses a metaphor of "wild Yukon highways" and "boring Ontarian roads" to describe two different paths in life that are calling out to the singer. They know both paths well, but they cannot keep both. The second verse talks about the challenge of choosing between people - the singer is getting close with a few folks they don't know well, but there is also someone they really know who feels like home. The chorus repeats the plea of not wanting to choose between the two parts of themselves that are telling them different things. The song ends with a sad realization that the singer is so far apart that they will end up breaking their own heart by not being able to keep both options.
Overall, the song captures the feeling of being torn between two options and not knowing which path to take. It's a relatable theme that everyone faces at some point in their life, whether it's about career choices, relationships, or general life decisions.
