Can We Talk
Phlake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't take my eyes off you
Got me going blind will you know my fingers?
Got my prince on low for you
Perfect wasted time
You can entertain me every minute
I can't get you out of my bed
Still, I fit you in my right pocket
And you know all the sexy ass languages
Swedish, Polish, Portuguese, French
You've seen all the pictures
That I never sent
So can we talk? Can we talk?
So can we talk? Can we talk?
Let's have a real conversation
I'm sick of fancy vibrations
You're like a ghost I'm chasing
So can we talk?
Can we talk? Can we talk?
Can we talk? Can we talk?
Can we talk? Can we talk?
Can we talk? Can we talk?
You keep all my memos
I'm still learning all your features
Perfect wasted time
You entertain me every minute
I can't get you out of my bed
You're my first plus-size model
Still, I fit you in my right pocket
And you know all the sexy ass languages
Swedish, Polish, Portuguese, French
You've seen all the pictures
That I never sent, oh
So can we talk? Can we talk?
So can we talk? Can we talk?
Let's have a real conversation
I'm sick of fancy vibrations
You're like a ghost I'm chasing
So can we talk?
Can we talk? Can we talk?
Can we talk? Can we talk?
Can we talk? Can we talk? Can we talk?
Catch me wrapped up in the sheets
Always near me when I'm with you, baby
Plug you in before I sleep
So can we talk? Can we talk?
Can we talk? So can we talk?
So can we talk?
Can we talk? Can we talk?
Can we talk? Can we talk?
Can we talk? Can we talk?
Can we talk? Can we talk?
Let's have a real conversation
I'm sick of fancy vibrations
You're like a ghost I'm chasing
Let's have a real conversation
I'm sick of fancy vibrations
You're like a ghost I'm chasing
So can we talk?
The lyrics to Phlake's song "Can We Talk" convey a longing for a deeper connection and genuine conversation with someone. The singer is infatuated with this person and finds it difficult to take their eyes off them, to the point of going "blind" from staring. They express their desire to know every inch of this person, from their physical features to their quirks and characteristics. The line "You're my first plus-size model, still I fit you in my right pocket" suggests that even though this person may not fit societal norms or expectations, they hold a special place in the singer's heart.
The repetition of the question "Can we talk?" throughout the song reflects the singer's eagerness to have a real conversation, tired of shallow interactions and superficial connections. They express a yearning for deeper intimacy, desiring to move beyond the surface level and engage in meaningful dialogue. The mention of being "sick of fancy vibrations" suggests a weariness of technology-mediated communication and a longing for genuine human connection. The singer sees this person as elusive, comparing them to a ghost they're chasing, perhaps indicating that they have yet to fully engage with the person they desire.
