While I Can Lyrics

[Verse 1]
While my lungs have breath to sing for you
And I have fingers left to cling to you
While my thoughts are making any sense
While I'm living in the present tense

I will wake up on the wrong side of the modern
Will it hold on to your fingers like a seat belt?
While my legs can't stand
I wanna love you while I can

[Verse 2]
While my spine can still stand up for us
Before the bones inside me turn to dust
While my skin can hold the cells of you
I will make a mess of telling you

Until the rebirth comes to scare you
Cut me out, I fucking dare you
I'm a master of denial
While I still have teeth to smile

I will wear it like a noose babe
Like an actor wears a new name
If you cast me I will be there
I will take the lead
I wanna tell you while I breathe

[Chorus]
I want a kid or two
I wanna live with you
I wanna live with you till we die
I want a kid or two
I wanna live with you
I wanna live with you till we die
I want a kid or two
I wanna live with you
I wanna live with you till we die

Sweetheart, What Have You Done to Us

[Verse 1]
While my lungs have breath to sing for you
And I have fingers left to cling to you
While my thoughts are making any sense
While I'm living in the present tense

I will wake up on the wrong side of the modern
Will it hold on to your fingers like a seat belt?
While my legs can't stand
I wanna love you while I can

[Verse 2]
While my spine can still stand up for us
Before the bones inside me turn to dust
While my skin can hold the cells of you
I will make a mess of telling you

Until the rebirth comes to scare you
Cut me out, I fucking dare you
I'm a master of denial
While I still have teeth to smile

I will wear it like a noose babe
Like an actor wears a new name
If you cast me I will be there
I will take the lead
I wanna tell you while I breathe

[Chorus]
I want a kid or two
I wanna live with you
I wanna live with you till we die
I want a kid or two
I wanna live with you
I wanna live with you till we die
I want a kid or two
I wanna live with you
I wanna live with you till we die

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.
