Just Can't Wait
Stroke 9 Lyrics

Another summer coming with the feeling it brings
Summer comes again, but brings a feeling of uncertainty and impermanence

Another reason to avoid all the permanent things
This recurring feeling makes the singer want to avoid committing to anything permanent

Before you know what time it is it's time to go
Time flies quickly, and it's easy to miss out on things before they're gone

And reattach all the strings
Before leaving, the singer must tie up any loose ends and say goodbye to people and things they care about

But you got me going
The person they're singing to has ignited a spark of excitement within them

So many places
Together, they could go on countless adventures

You got to be knowing
The singer hopes their love interest understands their feelings

What that look on my face is
The singer's expression reveals their attraction and longing

I just can't wait
The anticipation of being with this person is overwhelming

I just can't wait
The singer can't contain their excitement and desire

I just can't wait for you to say
The ultimate desire is for this person to reciprocate their feelings

That you want me
The singer craves their love interest's affection

That you want me
This desire is repeated for emphasis

I just can't wait for you to say that you want me
This is what the entire song is building towards

Well you need sunlight for things to go right
The singer believes that good things need to be nurtured and given the right circumstances to grow

It just takes a taste you know
Sometimes, all it takes is a brief encounter to ignite a powerful attraction

And every single little bit of love that I spread is coming straight for you
The singer is pouring all their love towards this one person

Would it be all right to go out tonight?
The singer wants to spend more time with their love interest

It doesn't matter where we go
As long as they're together, the location is secondary

You're the only one that I want to be near
This person is the singer's top priority

And try to get to know
The singer is eager to learn everything they can about their love interest

Cause you got eyes that I would love to look through
The singer admires this person and wants to see the world from their perspective

A life that I can't wait to get in to
The singer is excited about the possibility of a future together

As long as I can see what you see
The singer is open to seeing things from a new perspective

As long as it's what you believe
They're willing to follow their love interest's lead

Feeling all alone in my little head again
The singer is alone with their thoughts and feelings

Feels so good just to sit and take it in
Despite the anxiety, they're enjoying the intensity of their emotions

Back home in my big bed again
The singer is separated from their love interest, but still has a comfortable home to return to

You're gone and I'm spent
The absence of this person has taken a toll on the singer emotionally

But wherever you are
Their love is constant, regardless of distance

I want to be
The singer longs to be back in the presence of their love interest

I can't stop thinking about what you did to me
The singer is consumed by their memories of time spent with this person
