I can't take it-Tegan and Sara(with lyrics)

[patismooth]

I would like to see a video of the live version

does anyone know where is?



[Louisiannnahelloo]

This is a really heartbreaking song, it makes you kinda feel the pain Sara was feeling when she wrote it … … and that’s really odd.

It makes my chest feel all tight…whut is that all about…:c it’s a pretty song, but I cant listen to it over and over like all there others, I have to move onto something like where does the good go to make myself happy again.:c

[WeAreBroken13]

@Louisiannnahelloo I think I saw something about it being from when she broke up with emy, who she'd known for ten years and been with for four or five years.

[Louisiannnahelloo]

@WeAreBroken13 Yeah:c I heard that too..:c its so sad.

:’c

[theballer900]

#randomthought there are only 4 phrases in the entire song "So move yeah move,Don't move so slow,i've got nowhere to go and i cant take it. but its still really good

[IAmARockClingToMe]

Literally every single time I hear this song on my ipod or whenever it plays I know it's going to make me cry but I listen to it thoroughly and I cry my eyes out with all the emotions i hear from this song it never fails its so beautiful and I can feel her emotions it kills me inside to know she felt these emotions ugh beautiful song gorgeous people <3 Thank You Tegan and Sara for all you write and do you're like my backbone my rock thanks =)

[Filakova3]

I'm so in love with these two amazing women !!! ♥

[LessCooLGirl]

This song is perfect.

[missburn]

1. This song needs more views, you need to understand the pure genius of it! <3

2. Team Tegan!

[pipper1232002]

I love how they sing this song

[dxrule18]

The "Don't move so slow" at 2:33 breaks my heart every single time.

[crystalslittlesecret]

Just discovered Tegan and Sara. I really love their music. Tegan may be the more prolific writer but Sara writes the best songs. Her songs are so deep and poetic. And her unique voice just adds to her magic. Love Tegan, but Sara is the more talented one to me. Just my opinion.

[TheSnoopy1750]

@crystalslittlesecret So you think Tegan is a talentless hack?

Those are fighting words! :-)

[crystalslittlesecret]

@TheSnoopy1750 No offense to Tegan,she's wonderful and talented also. Sara's just....wow!

[puntytoey]

lovee itttttt

[ThePinkStarsGirl]

este tema estaba descargando miley cyrus cuando la llamaron de disney para decirle que obtuvo el papel de hannah montana

:)

[indieglee261]

i listen to this when im sad... it makes me happy....

[XOXOLiveLoveXOXO]

can someone explain the meaning of this song? I love the song. I don't understand what it means.. I <3 Tegan and Sara.

[tinynurses]

@XOXOLiveLoveXOXO “I described hearing that song [I Can’t Take It] for the first time to be like Sara was standing on my chest. I just felt really sad.

I know that when Sara was writing these songs it was during the end of her relationship and it was someone she’d been friends with for almost ten years and been with for four years. It was just the psyche of it, when you’ve known someone for half your life, literally, and then have to leave them, and not necessarily because you want to but...TBC

[tinynurses]

@XOXOLiveLoveXOXO just because it’s the right thing to do, and it’s just not healthy and you’re not good anymore, there’s no growth and you have to have growth. And when I hear that song, the idea of that all happening just makes me sick to my stomach a little bit. But it’s in an enjoyable way.”

–Tegan Quin

So, in short, it's about Sara's breakup with Emy(I believe, anyway. So Jealous was also about that.)

[XOXOLiveLoveXOXO]

@tinynurses Ohh. Thank you. (:

[nybotheveg]

@tinynurses nineteen was also about that

[tinynurses]

@nybotheveg I thought Tegan wrote Nineteen and Sara wrote I Can't Take It though?

[shanelane81]

OMG so simple so beautiful Sara sings this soooo amazingly

[FrenchFryLovin]

Awesomeness! BEAUTIFUL

[lilbuzz891355]

I don't mean to sound dumb, but what is this song about? A lover? Past troubles?

[WonTaunTaun]

I love the beauty of this song. It's so simple and consists of only four lines, yet it has such melodic depth. Kudos.

[crapshots]

This gives me serious, serious goosebumps. Even though the lyrics are so simple, the way she sings it is just ... phenomenal.

[SugarSpellItOut24]

Is it bad that I like T&S less since Miley Cyrus listens to them? I wish I'd never read that comment!

[eatheather]

@SugarSpellItOut24 It's better than T&S listening to Miley Cyrus. XD

[xbrookeLx]

@SugarSpellItOut24 Dude are you serious? You like someone less because Miley Cyrus listens to them. That's low.

[SugarSpellItOut24]

@xbrookeLx I was joking, but I guess you can't understand that.. I love them still, I just really hate Miley. you are probably one of those people that likes her and Justin Bieber or something and only came here because you heard miley liked the song

[xbrookeLx]

@SugarSpellItOut24 Um, there wasn't much to understand, it just didn't come across like you were joking. I love Miley! I don't like Justin Bieber though. And no I didn't come here because I heard Miley liked this song, I came here because my friend told me about Tegan and Sara and I searched a few of their songs.

[TheSnoopy1750]

@1Jaader You got that right. Miley Cyrus and T&S are diametrically opposed.

T&S = Cute and massively talented singers/songwriters with great personalities who made it on their own merits.

Miley = Snotty unattractive girl who got picked up by Disney only because of her one-hit-wonder dad and needs to wear slutty outfits to distract from her horrible singing.

[clancym1]

@TheSnoopy1750 i love you for that comment.

[OverdoseMiley]

I found out about this song from Miley's book Miles To Go xD

[PeaceAmongThaChaos]

so simple, yet so moving<3

[indieglee261]

this song is so beautiful. even tho it came out a number of years ago, i still hold this song close to my heart

[RickyNBibi]

miley was listening to this when she found out she landed the role of hannah montana ...

[ValerieAnnC1]

@RickyNBibi haha im reading the book and thats why i looked up this song

[VioletStarGirl11]

wow sum ass holes dont know when they not wanted. if u dont like the song, shut up and leave. its fucking annoying what sum ass holes do.

[doodle2569]

i love it how sara always has the simplest songs but they mean so much:)

[jmills1215]

@doodle2569 absolutely! thats why sara is my favorite. she seems to have more of an emotional connection and a subtlety to her songs than tegan.

[jmills1215]

@doodle2569 THIS should be the top comment

[doodle2569]

@jmills1215 Aw, thank you:D

[PurplexSmash13]

Does anyone know the story behind this? D: I wanna know! TT~TT

[deehls18]

@koolaidroxsoxmann. have you herd the rest of their song..i doubt it. just cause they have a simple song doesnt mean they dont make reall music. this song says and means so much but again you could never understand that...if you dont understand this simple song from tegan and sara you wont understand what tegan and sara are about.and that sucks for you..Tegan and Sara I Adore YOU...

[koolaidroxsoxmann]

@deehls18 okayy you obviously dont know what its like to write a song so shut itt, i just stated a fucking opinion, god but no apparently my oppinion is wrongg, andd i dont appreiciate music? Ohhkayyy ha ahaa. Listen to yourself, your causeing a huge deall, over a fuckingg opinion , and seriously, back when i  was 12 i wrote better then this. <3 justt stopp, kthanks.

[koolaidroxsoxmann]

I dontt like this bandd, not one songg, im not judgemental,

but this isnt a songg, a baby could write thiss, listen to he is we, or nevershoutnever, maybe mayday parade, those people make songss, <3

[koolaidroxsoxmann]

@ellielovesyouuu NO i deffenatly appreciate music. Just have more meaning to your songs. i dont go and write a song with the same 8 lines or whatever, she makes her voice sound good with instumental this song didnt take anyworkk at all to do. its dumb.

[koolaidroxsoxmann]

@ellielovesyouuu NO i deffenatly appreciate music. Just have more meaning to your songs. i dont go and write a song with the same 8 lines or whatever, she makes her voice sound good with instumental this song didnt take anyworkk at all to do. its dumb.

you try writing songs and shitt. maybe youll understandd whatt im sayingg. but rightt now. you dont know what music is.

[VioletStarGirl11]

@koolaidroxsoxmann looks like neither do u asshole. If u think u can diss this band and get away with no one getting angry with u, then ur stupid. If u think its so simple get off this page and listen to what u call "music".dont diss people if u dont know them or how much effort it took them to write a song. I actually listened to nevershoutnever and i honestly thought that was simple, i could come up with that stuff. I like their songs but it doesnt have that much meaning to it. so bye asshole.

[traceisgorgeous]

@koolaidroxsoxmann look i understand where youre coming from. but you also have to understand that sometimes simple is all you need. if you love someone then you say three simple words "i love you". if someone broke our heart you say four simple words "you broke my heart". it happens everyday and sometimes simplicity is all you need. they dont need other lines in this song to express their emotions. a few verses is all they need. its simple; yet expresses so much emotion.

[indieglee261]

@koolaidroxsoxmann then get the hell off this video, dont look them up, and at least try to never think about them again, you mainstream bitch teeheee

[koolaidroxsoxmann]

@indieglee261 woww, your really fuckingg inmaturee. Haha, Im not mainstreamm you dont fuckingg knoww mee. I say i dont like a fucking songg, andd you flipp. honestly, grow the fuck up a little bitt. Kay? You dont write songs, or have the experience so shutt the fuckk up

[indieglee261]

@koolaidroxsoxmann ok

[LovelyJessica24]

this song is so beautiful (:

[stephenlleeds]

Great music, wish their songs had more than 3 or 4 lines in them tho.

[DewllieExspress]

My favorite song ! <3

[IndiElleable]

SO emotional and genuine. Tegan and Sara are amazing

[GurlKarma02]

This song is perfection, I can't take it.

[GurlKarma02]

Oh Sara how I love you and if by any chance you read this please be mine

[RogueRider1]

apparently one person just could not take it

[geebeemarie]

thank you, for moving me.

[JayBayB33]

[theresdanielle]

i just get the goosebumps at @2:29 to @2:35 this song realy touches my heart

[dykeandlykeit]

this just became 1 of my fav Tegan and Sara songs, this is like the 12th time ive listened to it

[JustaPersonNotaLabel]

Its so beautiful. By far one of the best albums out there.

[paramorevampire1996]

i fall asleep crying my eyes out to this song everynight

i can't take it

[drogers89]

@paramorevampire1996 i know it's a touching song and all...but wtf your life must suck

[PurplexSmash13]

This is a song that you can listen to when you're all sad and depressed. It's so sad but I LOVE IT!! 

[ifitsparkles22]

I cry whenever I hear this song.

[snookijaexo]

one person doesn't have a heart.

[ab211125]

This song is so sad, It makes me let out the biggest sigghhhhh every time I listen to it...

[CRESS1234]

whats up with the tags though???? like seriously?

[ab211125]

@CRESS1234 haha right!

[CRESS1234]

i love how gentle and soft this song is

[cantbuymelove13]

I like that there are 0 dislikes so far. :]

[TehOwnererOfET]

@cantbuymelove13 I just disliked it cause your faggot ass said that, fuck u

[beneaththesky18]

i was gonna like this video, but it has 69 likes and i don't want to ruin that.. this is such a beautiful song

[ReachingZenith]

Sometimes it takes the simplest words to explain how something feels, and boy do Tegan and Sara know exactly how to do that. I mean, sure, the lyrics are incredibly simple, but I've listened to this song so many times JUST to hear those words over and over. And I get exactly what I wanted. Every time. :]

[imsu4eva]

I cried horribly when I listened to this song, I had been leaving basic training in 2006, it was the first time I had met my kindred soul mate! lol, it was hard to let go... then in '07 I ruined things and listened to this song again! now it's about to be '11 and I still regret '07... geez, confusing 'eh!

[mcforeverzzz]

i heard of this song in miley's book and i had to look it up. not bad.

[iamveggieburger]

@mcforeverzzz same! yeah lol

[JoanneSayegh]

@mcforeverzzz saammmeee thing:p haha

[ab211125]

@mcforeverzzz wait miley cyrus's book?

[mcforeverzzz]

@ab211125 Miles To Go.

[ab211125]

@mcforeverzzz That's so weird I had no idea

[Pandemoniumization]

what is this song about?

[mysticatnightsoul]

@Pandemoniumization I'm fairly certain it's open to interrpretation but for it's about letting someone go even when they still mean a lot. :)

[mysticatnightsoul]

@mysticatnightsoul For me, I mean. That's what it means for me.

[Pandemoniumization]

@mysticatnightsoul yeah, of course. okay, cool. thanks a lot. :)

[one1way1street]

don't move so slow,

don't move so slow.

i can't take it.

lyrics are so simple but so meaningful and heartbreaking.

[boknrd]

[SirSchumii]

If i saw the lyrics to this soong before i knew Tegan & sara i would still lol of the simple text..

BUT i know their music and they R genius ..

Everything they touch R golden "even this" !§

[Fredfanish]

I can't take it, Sara. Cause I like to hurry hurry hurry when I'm on you....;)

But in all seriousness, this song is heartbreaking and gives me chills every time. <3

[bowtiesarecool]

@Fredfanish haahha. Made me lol.

[NinjaGuitarKid]

One of Sara's best songs :,) Sooo amazing & meaningful

[musicisforeverr]

this song gives me goose bumps, i love it so much.

[adicts101]

Love this

[LilDzpuzzy101]

DAMN sara so deep in the lyrics

BUT I LUV IT

[passionsnut4]

This song is deep. Most songs don't make me break down, but this one did. It's so simple. Yet the emotion is so deep it touches not just the broken heart but soul. Beautiful. Tegan and Sara are amazing!

[Nimp78]

Story of my life...

[xparty6984]

It may say the same thing over and over...but you got to admit, this song is so sad...i love how they put so much emotion in the song, i love it :]

[ohxmyxsirius]

This song breaks my heart. I love it so much.
