The Last Drop Lyrics

Smile in this space, It's all loud
loud as the light can be made
Smile in this space, It's all loud
loud as the light can be made

How come it's all around me?
How come it's all around me?
How come it's all around me?
How come it's all around me?

Under the bed, these boxes
wait for the spring, to bring me near
it makes me see, it's all wrong
let's have some time while you're healing

How come it's all around me?
How come it's all around me?
How come it's all around me?
How come it's all around me?

It's clear
I've squeezed
The Last Drop
The Last Drop
The Last Drop
The Last Drop

pieces come together, pull the mist like needles
fighting for the leap when we can rise like spirals

How come it's all around me?
How come it's all around me?
How come it's all around me?
How come it's all around me?

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.

I love this song. I was kicked out of one of their gigs for being underage, and got sent this CD signed! I love it! The Last Drop and 9669 must be my favourites.

i can't believe someone could understand these lyrics well enough to write them down. i thought she sings 'destroyed it' in the chorus. i still can't hear where she sings what. but i'm at work now (hardly working) so when i get home i'll blast it and try to understand. I kinda like the lyrics i make up in my head when i can't understand. imagining that the lyrics were 'destroyed it', i would sing that in my head whenever i felt i was part of a gang that just won a dance competition or played a good show or did some other badass thing and we're walking down the street in slo mo like the new beastie boys video just breaking shit and 'destroyed it' is like the slang metaphor for how awesome we are compared to the world but also we're literally destroying shit because we can and it's just great yeah i love joy formidable i hope my band plays with them some day.
