Cover art for I Can't Wait lyrics by White Stripes, The

The first verse seems to be about how his girl has left him for someone else and he's obviously really angry. He knows that her new relationship will never work out and he "can't wait until (she) tries to come back" to him so he can just reject her and have his revenge. Thats what i think this song is about, alot of it seems to be what he would say to her when she comes back; very bitter and mocking ("I though you made up your mind"). The second verse verse shows that inside, however angry and bitter he is towards the girl, he still misses her like crazy and he feels empty inside. Thats how i see it anyway. White Stripes Rock!
