Long Sleeves For Summer Lyrics

Does your heart sag?
Fed up with the tag which you've been given
The cold won't make you shiver
Does your heart sag?
Still crying for love
You're forced to wear long sleeves for the summer
Will I ever be a lover
Crying out loud?
I know that face
It says being alive can sometimes hurt
I'd take your place
And run away from it all
The stars have been hidden
A breath grasping hand into the ether
I beg you take me with her
The stars have been hidden
I know that face
It says being alive can sometimes hurt
I'd take your place
And speed away from it all
If I knew where to go
Are there things I must buy?
List the clubs I should know
Tell the world I'm alive
But still crying for love
Still forced to wear long sleeves for the summer
Will I ever be a lover
Crying out loud?

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.
