Give It
Kurt Wagner Lyrics

Here comes the cool air, the light chill of the fall
The sensation of the cool breeze of autumn is being felt

Blowing from either direction
The direction from which the wind blows is not constant

Blowing across the yard it's crisp and it's cool
The wind moves across the yard with a refreshing, cold feeling

Dogs like it, as they sit around in the sun
Dogs enjoy sunbathing while the cool wind brings them comfort

And stubbornly I remain under a tree
The artist stays under the shade of a tree despite the cool wind

The wind gusts up stronger from time to time
Intermittently, the wind blows with more force

We're supposed to grow cold as the day wears on
As the day progresses, the temperature is expected to drop

I'm'a looking for the future, today, today, today, today
The artist is anticipating the future with excitement

And at the same time I am dreading the outcome of our actions
In addition to anticipation, the artist is also worried about the consequences of their actions

Fall makes me feel a little sad sometimes
The season of fall can evoke a slight feeling of sadness in the artist

Whip out the sweater and the second layer and it's time for a change
With colder weather, it is necessary to dress in layers for warmth

And surely it's the way, Oh boy, oh shit! Let's record it
A spontaneous moment arises and the artist decides to capture it on a recording

A rednecks safe from a bitchy English professor
A person with less formal education will not be criticized as harshly as by an English professor

He seemed unconcerned with my purity of expression
The professor did not appear to be bothered by the singer's use of language

And I can see his point, which is all well and good
The singer understands and accepts the professor's perspective

Sometimes I'm not sure if I can see my...
The sentence is incomplete, leaving the meaning ambiguous

Shake this time when it doesn't really mind
The artist feels a sense of unease even though nothing is wrong

You do just fine and you won't next time
Success is not a guarantee for the future

If you want it [Repeat x4]
Repeated encouragement to go after what is desired

Back to the weather, I must admit it looked pretty nice
The artist returns to discussing the pleasant weather

Why are my legs shaking
The artist notices their legs trembling

Why are there still mosquitoes
The artist is curious as to why insects are still present despite the cooler temperature

Shouldn't they be in bed and dead by now
The singer assumes the mosquitoes should have died or gone dormant for the season

I guess I should give it, give it a little more time
The artist decides to be patient and wait a bit longer

Give it, give it, a little more time [Repeat]
Repeated chorus emphasizing the need for patience
