I Can’t Wait Lyrics
Baby, baby, if you leave me
Can you take me with you?
I can sit in the back seat
Sometimes when the night is quiet
I'll turn all the lights on
Like the end of the movie
[Chorus: Phoebe Bridgers]
I can't wait, but I'm waiting
I'm still up, but I'm fading
[Verse 2: Phoebe Bridgers]
Not so slowly getting older
California sober
I live by the water
Go dancing with my understudy
Could be anybody, make me an offer
[Chorus: Phoebe Bridgers]
I'm not good, but I'm better
Missed my cue, but whatever
It's now or never
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge: Phoebe Bridgers & Cameron Winter]
All my life
Side by side
Hyde Jekyll Hyde
Finally together
You can change your mind
But you can't change mine
Hyde Jekyll Hyde
You and I forever
[Verse 3: Phoebe Bridgers]
Walking early in the morning
While you're still sleeping
And the credits are rolling
I don't know why I'm crying
Until we're dead or die trying
[Outro: Phoebe Bridgers]
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
All my life
Side by side
Hyde Jekyll Hyde
Finally together
You can change your mind
But you can't change mine
Hyde Jekyll Hyde
You and I forever
[Verse 3: Phoebe Bridgers]
Walking early in the morning
While you're still sleeping
And the credits are rolling
I don't know why I'm crying
Until we're dead or die trying
[Outro: Phoebe Bridgers]
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

Song Bio
“I Can’t Wait” brings together Phoebe’s collaborator from Better Oblivion Community Center, Conor Oberst, on harmonica with Cameron Winter, who appears as “Son-John Johnson” on credits.
The song utilizes both movie metaphors and allusions to The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a gothic horror novella by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. These metaphors and allusions continue the themes of dissociation and identity fragmentation that characterize Lost Weekend.
