why can't i - liz phair


get a load of me, get a load of you
walkin' down the street, and i hardly know you
it's just like we were meant to be

holding hands with you, and we're out at night
got a girlfriend, you say it isn't right
and i've got someone waiting too

this is, this is just the beginning
we're already wet and we're gonna go swimming

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

it's this the best part of breakin' 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're gonna scratch

gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
but wouldn't it be beautiful

here we are, we're at the beginning
we haven't fucked yet, be our heads spinning

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

i'd love for you to make me wonder
where it's goin'
i'd love for you to pull me under
somethin's growin'
for this that we can control
baby i'm dyin'

why can't i breathe whenever i think about yous
why can't i speak whenever i talk about you

why can't i breath 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



i highly doubt that has any relation whatsoever to me and him. but i've been searching for this song for ages! i can even tell you when, back when i was a j1 and listened to this song every single morning on my discman. especially when i was up and about cleaning the classroom and enjoying some quiet time alone in the morning. anyhow, i was really listening to the words this weekend and i just had to take some time off maths to come blog. well, nothing much to add to the song really but i suppose i just wanted to put it up. and the highlighted or underlined or striked out words? they don't mean much, seriously. it's just something i'd like to point out, funny bits in the song. and i've very sorry if you don't share my humor.


this weekend has been considerable fun. seeing as how maths is coming up tomorrow! but yes, i have found a way to have fun during the weekends to de-stress for a bit! and everything, points to me giving up on you. and you know what, i think i just might. really, i find no point in this somewhat love-less relationship, as well as very much meaningless! well, i think i'd go into this more detailed after my exams. my bed is calling out to me, and i need all the rest i can get. my paper is in the afternoon! can you believe it?! but i suppose it is good in a sense, i don't have to wake up so early! hahas. better get going, keep checking back! i might just add another post to get off the stress of this week and next! hugs all around. all my love!!

<3 you always
