Sock Hop Lyrics

It was the first two weeks of autumn
I kissed you on the cheek
And gave you flowers out of season
And all the people at the drive-in
Make out with each other until
The second feature is closing
At the end, and your roaming
Find you keys in the mud
I took you out on Friday
We shared a milkshake at the
Sock hop, when we were done
We went to watch the sunset
But it never sank as deep as
My heart did, at closing
At the end, and your roaming
Find you keys in the, Closing
At the end, and your roaming
Find you keys in the mud

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.

i think this is about a girlfriend of his. "your roaming" could possibly mean the girl is cheating on him. he bitterly adds "find your keys in the mud". just a thought.
