I Can't Explain
Lost in New Year's Eve: Unveiling the Mysterious Chemistry of Surfer Blood's 'I Can't Explain'
Lyrics
On a New Year's Eve
Reflecting on a New Year's Eve
Celebrations full of life
Describing lively celebrations
At a loss for words
Experiencing speechlessness
And eye contact throughout the night
Noticing prolonged eye contact
Lost in a game we play
Engaged in a confusing game
Faces trying to look sincere
People wearing insincere expressions
But it's all right tonight
Comfort in the present moment
If I never stray too far from here
Choosing not to wander too far
I can't explain, I can't explain
Expressing inability to explain
We're a rare isotope
Describing uniqueness
Not commonly found in cities like these
Not fitting into typical city life
Ordinary words on
Words about a specific substance
Methylenedioxyamphetamine
Referring to a specific drug
You're the girl of my dreams
Addressing someone special
Trapped within my false awakenings
Feeling entangled in dreams and reality
Forgotten, yet unsure
Uncertain but not completely forgotten
Reoccuring first meeting
Recalling a significant first meeting
If we're nothing
Questioning the value of the relationship
(Open your, open your)
Suggesting openness
Disguised as something
Concealing true nature as something else
I can almost taste your lips
Imagining the taste of lips
Our eyes close in full eclipse
Describing a moment of intimacy
Your taste is sour
Commenting on a sour taste
With bitter powder
Referring to a bitter experience
If I could open your mind
Expressing a desire to connect mentally
And hold me inside
Desiring emotional closeness
And open your mind
Reiterating the call for mental openness
(I can't explain, I can't explain)
Repetition of inability to explain
And open your mind
Repeated call for mental openness
(you're the only one, girl, you're the only one, girl)
Emphasizing a specific person's importance
And open your mind
Continued call for mental openness
(I can't explain)
Reiteration of inability to explain
(I can't explain)
Continued repetition of inability to explain
And open your mind
Final call for mental openness
(You're the only one, girl)
Reiterating a person's unique importance
(You're the only one, girl)
Repeating the emphasis on someone's uniqueness
I can't explain
Final expression of inability to explain
