about

Liz Phair's "Why Can't I" encapsulates the sweet, softer side of Olive's mall-loitering, lip gloss-wearing, flip phone-flopping memories from their childhood. The folksy cover highlights the tenderness in Phair's lyrics and the beauty of her melody for listeners new and old.

lyrics

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, 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

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?
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you

Isn't 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 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

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?

High enough for you to make me wonder
Where it's goin'
High enough for you to pull me under
Somethin's growin'
Out of this that we can control
Baby I am dyin'

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?
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?
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
Whenever I think about you
