Can You Discover? Lyrics
Oh baby baby babe,
How long am I supposed to wait
I think about you nightly
Oh can you tell i'm losing sleep
Oh what am I supposed to do?
It's hard to stay cool
When you smile at me
And I get nervous every time you speak
My bed's too big for just me
When you turn your eyes
I promise I won't care
Oh baby baby babe
Oh baby baby please
My heart sinks to my feet
Oh baby baby do you know
I think about you nightly
My bed's too big for just me
When you turn your eyes
I promise I won't care
Standing by your sister fair
Oh baby baby please
I think about you nightly
Oh baby baby babe
When I look into your eyes
I tend to lose my thoughts
Don't forget your stare
Oh what was that you said
Would you let me know
'Cause I can't read your mind
Oh can you tell
I can't even explain
Oh baby baby babe
Oh baby baby bae
Explain
How long am I supposed to wait
I think about you nightly
Oh can you tell i'm losing sleep
It's hard to stay cool
When you smile at me
And I get nervous every time you speak
When you turn your eyes
I promise I won't care
Oh baby baby babe
My heart sinks to my feet
Oh baby baby do you know
I think about you nightly
When you turn your eyes
I promise I won't care
Standing by your sister fair
I think about you nightly
Oh baby baby babe
I tend to lose my thoughts
Don't forget your stare
Oh what was that you said
Would you let me know
'Cause I can't read your mind
Oh can you tell
I can't even explain
Oh baby baby bae

A beautiful recreation of the Ra Ra Riot original "Can You Tell." Since the lyrics are essentially the same, this song seems to be a cheery plea for some attention from the girl that the singer is so desperately trying to reach out to. An original fantastic song with added synth and a groovier, dancier vibe that makes the song that much more happy and perhaps even, optimistic.
Definitely my favorite song off their LP. I agree with sentimentalist that it has an almost optimistic feeling despite the kinda desperate lyrics.
