I Can't Wait
One-21 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hope yours won't grow farther
I take one look at your picture and I'm falling in love all over again
Well it's cool to see the X-wing fighter
and the places where Pee Wee sat
But somehow it's incomplete
Everynight I'm stinking and I'm thinking of you
Shows over the hum's still in my head
And I'm sleeping in my clothes again
So many things you haven't seen
(chorus)
I can't wait
to take a ride down the avenue
I can't wait
like we're the only two
I can't wait
we don't need anything to do
(with nothing to do)
Walking on the streets of California
Trying to talk to you
haven't been gone that long baby
Maybe a day or two
But don't you know that it seems like forever
Whenever I'm away from you
The only problem about being here is that you're not
The furthere and further I am
Tonight my watch will stay on Philly Time
The lyrics of One-21's I Can't Wait is a love letter to a distant lover. The first two lines of the song show the longing of the singer not to grow apart from their lover. Despite being distant from each other, the singer's affection for the lover does not seem to lessen. Even a mere look at their picture can rekindle the singer’s feelings towards the lover.
The second verse deals with the singer’s loneliness as they tour and perform in different places. While still thinking of their lover, they sleep in their clothes and ponder on the things their lover hasn’t seen. In the chorus, the singer expresses the excitement of seeing and spending time with their lover again. The lyrics depict how being together, even with nothing to do, is enough to make the singer happy.
The last verse speaks of the singer's longing to be with their lover in California. Even though they haven't been gone for long, it feels like forever because of their love for each other. The song ends with a longing tone as the singer muses on the downside of being away from their lover. Overall, the song is a touching tribute to a long-distance love that is still alive and well despite the challenges involved.
