I Can't Explain It
Show Me the Skyline Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rumor has it she's a mess
Across the room you'd never guess
By the way she moves and the way she's dressed
She never fails to impress

I took one look and I caught her eyes
She's got me hooked and its no surprise
It's like a game so I'll roll the dice
But I'm feeling weak, I need to try

I can't explain it
I'm wrapped around your finger
But I'm loving every minute
I can't believe I'm happy - are you happy?
Now I hope I don't wake up and ruin it all

Her body moves in perfect time
I've got a feeling I can make her mine
All I need to do is do this right
I move in close and I put my

Hands on her hips, I'm barely breathing
I still taste her lips, I must be dreaming
It's like a game so I'll roll the dice
But I'm feeling good and I won't think twice

I can't explain it
I'm wrapped around your finger
But I'm loving every minute
I can't believe I'm happy - are you happy?
Now i hope I don't wake up and ruin it all

Can you feel it baby
Every time we kiss
Everything around us slowly
Seems to not exist

I can't explain it
I'm wrapped around your finger
But I'm loving every minute




I can't believe I'm happy - are you happy?
Now I hope I don't wake up and ruin it all

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Show Me the Skyline's song "I Can't Explain It" express the feeling of being captivated and infatuated with someone, even if they are apparently “a mess”. The singer admits to being hooked on this person, attracted by their moves, their style and the way they subtly impress others. Despite admitting to the unknown nature of their relationship, the singer is loving every minute, indulging in a feeling of happiness that contrasts with the uncertainty of their situation. From the start, the song depicts the experience of feeling like gambling, like rolling the dice in a game of chance. The singer seems to be aware that they might need to put in an extra effort to keep up this newly-found, somewhat dreamlike happiness.


The bridge displays the power and intensity of the couple's chemistry. As they kiss, nothing else seems to exist for them. The singer is entirely consumed by the other person, wrapped around their finger, overwhelmed by the happiness they bring, and scared to wake up and lose it all.
