Lever Lyrics

Be my love and go away
I close the door
there are no words left to say
we spoke them all
a da da dada da da da
a da da dada da da da
I am aching now
I'd turn it backwards for you
can't find a lever
I'd take it forward for two
can't find
can't find a lever

Lightning strikes a storm in my head
to wake what was asleep
and if you'd care to know that
there are no shelters for this
I paddle waters deep da da da da da da
da da dada da da da
a da da dada da da da
a rainbow breaks the storm

I'd turn it backwards for you
can't find a lever
I'd take it forward for two
can't find
can't find a lever

Our eyes are safer in the dark
so we can't see what we have burned down worn out
all there is is just a tiny spark
is it what's left or signs of what could should be?

Haaaaaaaah
(Haaaaaaaah)
Haaaaaaaah
(Haaaaaaaah)

I'd turn it backwards for you
can't find a lever
I'd take it forward for two
can't find
can't find a lever

I'd turn it backwards for you
(can't find a lever)
I'd take it forward for two
(can't find)
(can't find a lever)

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.
