Keith Case Lyrics

You'll turn away
Calling back
As you run
Say it can
Say that it can
Say that it cant can't be done
You're the last continental bastard chosen son

It may be a while
Maybe two
Maybe three
Till the chance
Till the chance
Till the chance we meet
Just to burn all the frames as to not repeat

Like anyone anywhere has the time
Take a place
Take a place
Take a place in line
I can spot a scab
I know my kind

I want to say
Truly say
I know this well
Look how far
Look how far
Look how far we fell
You can lie to the liar
I know your tell

Turn around turn around
Say what you want to say
Say what you came here for
Turn away turn away
From everything we want to work
And anything that came before

You'll turn away
Calling back
As you run
Say it can
That it can
It can't be done
You're the last continental bastard chosen son

Turn around turn around
say what you want to say
Say what you came here for
Turn away turn away
From everything we want to work
And everything that came before

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.

Great sound. Kinda dark and even heavy. It's good to have them back.
