Lyric discussion by sage_morphine 

Cover art for I Can't Catch You lyrics by Sixpence None the Richer

one of my favourite songs of all time. i think the lyrics is about someone who is going into a new relationship, and lacks the courage and confidence in this new relationship because she has been hurt before in the past and is paranoid that it'll happen again. she wants to be with this new guy but she's still holding on to the fears of the past relationship (feeling all these bags in the way), and as master bates said, she's worried that this new guy will leave her too and she can't get him back.
