1963 Lyrics

baby, i'm stuck in the middle, and i don't know why
find the words you sing to me
sweeter than the words of the bird in the sky
oh, the days you came around
i feel so good for me
i can take most anything
'cause what you bring

i find it to be magical
i feel like i'm loving you in 1963
flowers in my hair
little bitty hearts upon my cheek
baby, you'll be on my mind
'til i kiss you next time

baby, come on, take a ride in my little blue bug
keep the windows down
don't forget to celebrate the radio's up
oh, the way you hold my hand
there is no other way
we could take a thousand walks
and laugh all day

i find it to be magical
i feel like i'm loving you in 1963
flowers in my hair now
little bitty hearts upon my cheek
baby, you'll be on my mind
'til i kiss you next time

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 the meaning of this song is fairly obvious. Just being madly in love with someone, and in that stage of perfect bliss where every thing seems perfect and magical.

Excellent song, by the way.
