Can I?
Side Walk Slam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Open up your mind and get rid of regret
Think of all the years, think of all the tears
And ask yourself this question - can I? (4x)
looking forward never turning back.
Analyzing past mistakes, what did I lack?
Think of all your peers, think of all your fears
can I do this? can I do that?
Can I make sense of what I lack?
Can I be something that I'm not?
Can I live life and not get caught?
Can I do this? can I do that? can I?
