Can You Feel It
Pearl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Holdin' hands at midnight
Beneath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try

Strollin' with the one girl
Sighin' sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try

Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?

Loving one who loves you
And then takin' that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And if you get it, won't you tell me how?

Holdin' hands at midnight
Beneath a starry sky

And strollin' with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh

Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?

Loving one who loves you
And then takin' that vow




Nice work if you can get it
And if you get it, won't you tell me how?

Can you feel the passion?
Don’t you realise?
The only time you feel it
Is when you’re playing with knives 🍴

Are you tired 😓 of your life? Why don’t you change it...

Danger ⚠️ calls, it intoxicates
Beyond the walls, real excitement waits
Adrenaline rush, dance 💃 along the ledge
Forbidden 🚫 touch, kiss 💋 the razors 🪒 edge
Limits fade, fear into delight
Wicked blade, shining in the night
Rip the skies 🌌 show us what you feel
Cut the ties, touch the naked steel

Break the glass calls, stroke the jagged shard
Break the rules, press the limit hard
Adrenaline rush, dance 💃 along the ledge
Forbidden 🚫 touch, kiss 💋 the razors 🪒 edge

Rip the skies 🌌 show us what you feel
Cut the ties, touch the naked steel

Playing with knives 🍴 playing with
Playing with knives 🍴
Playing with knives 🍴

Can you feel the passion?
(Playing with knives 🍴)
Don’t you realise?
The only time you feel it
Is when you’re playing with knives 🔪

Can you feel the passion?
(Yeah yeah yeah)
Don’t you realise?
The only time you feel it
Is when you’re playing with knives 🔪

Can you feel the passion?
