Telescope Lyrics

I’m looking up through the telescope lens
I’m wondering where does the universe end
I’ll take my clothes off for meteor showers
I’ll take my clothes off and climb into bed

but all the stars that shoot in the sky
they’re falling in love with the sun
they’re falling in love with the sun

you’re terribly happy that I came home early
I’ve fallen asleep in the afternoon
get under the covers, I’ll give you some kisses
then we’ll lie on the roof and stare up at the moon

but all the dumb cats in my neighborhood
I know they’ll get me soon
They’ll find a way into my room

Oh tell me a secret and tell me a story
Let’s make up plans that will never come true
This is delicious, hey thanks for the dinner
I hear foot steps approaching I’m hopin’ its you
but all the blankets on the bed
They’re tangled in heaps all around you
They’re tangled in heaps all around you
I’m looking up through the telescope lens
I’m wondering where does the universe end
I’ll take my clothes off for meteor showers
I’ll take my clothes off and climb into bed

I’ll take my clothes off for meteor showers
I’ll take my clothes off and climb into bed

but all the stars that shoot in the sky
they’re falling in love with the sun
they’re falling in love with the sun

you’re terribly happy that I came home early
I’ve fallen asleep in the afternoon
get under the covers, I’ll give you some kisses
then we’ll lie on the roof and stare up at the moon

but all the dumb cats in my neighborhood
I know they’ll get me soon
They’ll find a way into my room

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 love this song so much. it is amazing. there is nothing about the song until you listened to it for a while.

then the lyrics creep into your head when you least expect it.

and then you smile because they are [for the most part] profound

I just think the lines "but all the stars that shoot in the sky, they’re falling in love with the sun" is the most beautiful thing ever.
