I Can't Wait Lyrics

I can't wait till you
try to come back girl
when things they don't
work out for you
who do you think you 're
messing with girl
what do you think
you're trying to do?

First you said I was blind
you certainly took your time
I thought you made up your mind

So many times I've gotten
used to this
this old idea
of being all alone
tell me how I'm supposed to
get through with this?
I wish this house felt like a home

...they all have completely different chords..

The first verse seems to be about how his girl has left him for someone else and he's obviously really angry. He knows that her new relationship will never work out and he "can't wait until (she) tries to come back" to him so he can just reject her and have his revenge. Thats what i think this song is about, alot of it seems to be what he would say to her when she comes back; very bitter and mocking ("I though you made up your mind"). The second verse verse shows that inside, however angry and bitter he is towards the girl, he still misses her like crazy and he feels empty inside. Thats how i see it anyway. White Stripes Rock!

once in love with a girl who was playing him and another guy. he gets fed up with it yet cant get over it....sad really, but great song.....there is no nirvana rip off here just a similar tone and arpeggiated power chords

great song, but it sure does sound familiar. Thats it the opening riff is pretty much nicked off heart shaped box by nirvana. just a tad slower, and it does change a little at the end

Very cool song, I also noticed the Nirvana take-off, but also it's also very Beatles-esque. Nice mix there

speaking of the intro sounding like nirvana. did anyone else notice that the beginning of "dead leaves and the dirty ground" also sounds like the bridge (towards the end of the song) of green day's "brain stew?" again a little slowed down and the notes are more discrete, but i made the connection right away the first time i heard "dead leaves."

i also noticed the similarity to Heart Shaped Box.... are all nirvana fans also white stripes lovers?? thats strange.....

unfortunately i dont feel like finding the meaning to this one.... sowwy.

This seems to be their most "commercial" song, not that "White Stripe-y" in my opinion, not saying it's not a good song.

This song was my anthem late 2004 :) , I've heard people compare it to "Heart Shaped Box" , the riff I mean , although I don't see to big a similarity.
