Why Can't I
Liz Phair
Get a load of me, get a load of you
Walking down the street, and I hardly know you
It's just like we were meant to be
Holding hands with you when we're out at night
Got a girlfriend, you say it isn't right
And I've got someone waiting too
What if this is just the beginning?
We're already wet, and we're gonna go swimming
Chorus:
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Isn't this the best part of breaking up?
Finding someone else you can't get enough of,
Someone who wants to be with you too
It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch
Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
But wouldn't it be beautiful?
Here we go, we're at the beginning
We haven't fucked yet, but my head's spinning
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
High enough for you to make me wonder
Where it's going
High enough for you to pull me under
Something's growing
Outta this that we can't control
Baby I'm dying
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?
Repeat chorus
Whenever I think about you x4
