Can You Say
Waves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't seem to enjoy
Anything I do
I'm sitting in silence
In the other room
You never say anything nice
So tell me what's the point
Why do I even try
Its something about the way you
Look at me
It's something about the way you
Talk to me
It's got me jumping right out of my skin
Yea we can talk for hours
You don't care what I'm saying
For real
I'm not one to usually complain
But this distance here's




Making my brain
Go insane

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Waves's song "Can You Say" convey a sense of frustration and disconnect in a relationship. The singer feels like their efforts to please their partner are unappreciated, as their partner seems indifferent and uninterested. The first verse sets the tone by highlighting the lack of enjoyment and silence in their interactions. The frustration is further emphasized in the line, "You never say anything nice, so tell me what's the point."


The chorus expresses the impact the partner's demeanor has on the singer's emotions. The way the partner looks at and talks to the singer causes an intense reaction that makes them feel like they are coming out of their own skin. This suggests that the partner's indifference cuts deep and affects the singer's sense of self. The second verse reveals the singer's attempt to engage in meaningful conversation, but the partner's apathy is evident as they "don't care what [the singer is] saying."


The concluding lines indicate that the emotional distance between the singer and their partner is taking a toll on their mental state, driving them close to madness. The repeated refrain of "go insane" showcases the singer's emotional distress caused by the disconnect within the relationship.

Lyrics of the song:

Road shimmer wigglin' the vision
Heat, heat waves, I'm swimmin' in a mirror
Road shimmer wigglin' the vision
Heat, heat waves, I'm swimmin' in a

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Can't make you happier now
Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Can't make you happier now

Usually I put somethin' on TV
So we never think about you and me
But today I see our reflections
Clearly in Hollywood, layin' on the screen
You just need a better life than this
You need somethin' I can never give
Fake water all across the road
It's gone now, the night has come, but


Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Can't make you happier now
You can't fight it, you can't breathe
You say something so lovin', but
Now I gotta let you go
You'll be better off in someone new
I don't wanna be alone
You know it hurts me too
You look so broken when you cry
One more and then I say goodbye

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Can't make you happier now
Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Can't make you happier now

I just wonder what you're dreamin' of
When you sleep and smile so comfortable
I just wish that I could give you that
That look that's perfectly un-sad

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Can't make you happier now
Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Can't make you happier now

Road shimmer wigglin' the vision
Heat, heat waves, I'm swimmin' in a mirror
Road shimmer wigglin' the vision
Heat, heat waves, I'm swimmin' in a mirror
