Sophie Lyrics

Hello Sophie
How are you?
I hope that everything is going well for you today
I like to sleep cos when I sleep I dream of places I would be
If I were here right now
Like underground hearing the sounds that humans make when they have things that they cannot talk about
So they blow horns in little clubs with wine and cigarettes
They serve to hide the dirty floors
I think the carpet floors the strange smells
Welcome to the university- you’d better watch your calories
Try a racehorse on your front door-
It shows the world your personality
At the university
And if your lucky maybe
Your roommate will be Sophie
She’ll make you red rose tea with honey

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 real lyrics go a little more like this:

Hello Sophie How are you? I hope that everything is going well for you today I like to sleep 'cause when I sleep I dream of places I would be If I weren't here right now Like underground hearing the sounds that humans make when they have things that they cannot talk about So they blow horns in little clubs with wine and cigarettes That serve to hide the dirty floors

I think of carpet floors the strange smells Welcome to the university- you’d better watch your calories The dry-erase board on your front door- It shows the world your personality At the university

And if you're lucky maybe Your roommate will be Sophie She’ll make you red rose tea with honey
