I Can’t Wait Lyrics
[Verse 1: Phoebe Bridgers]
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

Song Bio of I Can’t Wait Lyrics – Phoebe Bridgers
Phoebe Bridgers released “I Can’t Wait” on August 14, 2026, as part of her new album Lost Weekend. The track marks her first new music since her acclaimed run with boygenius, and it finds her leaning into a sound that feels both intimate and expansive at once.
Produced alongside longtime collaborators Tony Berg and Ethan Gruska, plus Jack Antonoff, the song threads together tension and tenderness. Bridgers sings about wanting to hold on to someone even as she admits she’s already slipping away, a contradiction that has become one of her signature emotional moves. The song’s bridge brings in Cameron Winter of Geese for a duet moment, their voices trading lines about permanence and change, adding a fresh texture to Bridgers’ usually solitary confessional style.
Fans on social media have already pointed to the “Hyde Jekyll Hyde” imagery in the bridge as an early standout, calling it one of the most striking vocal pairings on the record. With Lost Weekend marking a new chapter after years of collaborative projects, “I Can’t Wait” positions Bridgers as an artist still willing to experiment with structure and duet dynamics while staying true to the raw honesty that built her fanbase.
