Sing Me Sweet Lyrics

5 am, undressed
In your static, in your mess
I don't need any new voices
I'm thick enough with superstitions and choices

A little bit of something
Maybe just a way home

Sing me sweet
Sing me low
Say you'll never let me go
Sing me sweet
Say you'll never let me go
Never let you go

Just to stay like this
In the give of your lips
In the dim half-light dawn
Pinned below your undertow
When everything meant everything again

A little bit of something
Maybe just a way home
Way home, a way home

Sing me sweet
Sing me low
Say you'll never let me go
Sing me sweet
Say you'll never let me go
Never let...

Sing me sweet
Sing me low
Say you'll never let me go
Sing we may
And you'll never let me
Never let me go

Sing me sweet
Sing me low
Say you'll never let me
Never let me go
Say you'll never let me go

Sing me sweet
Sing me low
Say you'll never let me go
Let me go
I'm coming down
Coming down

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.

This is my favorite Matt song and I actually love the newer lyrics better. These aren't it. In those, the chorus includes "Cause I've gone long enough/Waiting for Wonderful". I understand the desperation that comes with finally finding someone to love you and not wanting them to ever leave you because it took you so long to find that person that you're afraid if they leave you won't find anyone else again.
