Hillary Dresser Lyrics

once upon a time. when i just stood still. your eyes pierced my skin/i've lost what i knew. can i scratch them out yet? lost it lost it. scratch it scratch it. do not even blink. am i invisible? what's your name again? it's on the tiop of my tongue. the summer has drowned my heard, caused it to suffocate. your eyes are burning me. burning me. your eyes burn me your eyes burn me/ i asked you why cause you asked me to, and i am melting, and when i see you it's not like i know you / i saw you through the glass that day on the escalator, and you've forgotten my name, and when i see you it's not like i know you, and i've forgotten your name.

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.
