Can You Give It Lyrics

One last push with all the strength of us all
Under one great shadow floorshow
Take the strain for us all

Can you give it
Can you give it
Can you give it
Can you give it
Can you give it

One last pull to tight the slack of before
Slow rolling bolder, rock, stone, pebble
Grit, sand, dust, grain, speck of it all

Can you give it
Can you give it
Can you give it
Can you give it
Can you give it

Bolt hold, tape together
Concrete, to another
Bind tight, and deliver
Hold fast, hold fast, hold fast

Can you give it
Can you give it
Can you give it
Can you give it
Can you give it

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
