Can I Get It
Adele Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pave me a path to follow
And I'll tread any dangerous road
I will beg and I'll steal, I will borrow
If I can make, if I can make your heart my home

Throw me to the water (yeah, yeah)
I don't care how deep or shallow (yeah)
Because my heart can pound like thunder (yeah)
And your love, and your love can set me free (yeah)

I have promised I will love you 'til the end of time
Through it all, the good, the bad, the ugly, and divine
I will be the melody, the rhythm, and your rhyme
All I want is for you to be mine

So can I get it right now? Mh
Can I get it right now? (Can I get it?)
Can I get it right now?
Can I get it right now?
Let me, let me just come and get it

Can I get it?

You tease me with your control (yeah)
Because I long to live under your spell (yeah)
And without your love I'm hollow (yeah)
I won't make it, I won't make it on my own (yeah)

I have promised I will love you 'til the end of time (end of time)
Through it all, the good, the bad, the ugly, and divine (so divine)
I will be the melody, the rhythm, and your rhyme (mhm)
All I want is for you to be mine

So can I get it right now? Mh
Can I get it right now? (Can I get it?)
Can I get it right now?
Can I get it right now?
Let me, let me just come and get it

Can I get it?

When will you run with me?
Like I know you wanna?
(Like you want to, like you want)
You're the one for me
And I'm counting on you (on you)
To put the pieces of me back together

So can I get it right now? Mh
Can I get it right now? Mhm
Can I get it right now?




Can I get it right now?
Let me, let me just come and get it

Overall Meaning

In "Can I Get It," Adele sings about the depth of her affection and devotion to someone she loves deeply. She is willing to go to any lengths to win, protect, and preserve his heart, even if it means making sacrifices or taking risks. She asks him to open up his heart to her fully, to pave the path for her, and give her everything she needs to be with him, forever. She pledges to love him until the end of time, through thick and thin, the known and unknown, the beautiful and ugly, the divine and the mundane. She will always sing his song, dance to his rhythm, and be his backbone. For her, the ultimate goal is to make him hers, to have him by her side, to complete her.


In the chorus, Adele poses the question "Can I get it right now?" repeatedly, asking for an affirmative answer from her lover. She wants him to give her his love, his trust, his commitment, and his heart. Her plea is laden with passion and longing, and she implores him to take a leap of faith with her, to run with her, and to help her get back the missing pieces of herself. The song ends on a cliffhanger, with Adele asking if she can get it, but the listener is left wondering if she did.

The way the chorus is light and slow , the verses are upbeat and fast , the guitar strums. This is absolutely amazing , she conveys what she feels so well which A lot of people aren't able to do so you feel seen and understood. Beautiful. At this point , she’s her own genre 😌💜
