Watermelon Sugar Lyrics

I saw you in the statue of mirrors, you were rearranging your bangs and your curls
I saw you in the house of spirits, you were fixing the scarf tightly around your neck
if you want to have a picnic, I'll bring the watermelon and a bottle of wine
if you want to go to the beach, I'll bring the towels and we'll waste all our time
if you want to fly a kite, I'll bring you strings and line to hang from
I saw you leaving the airport
I wished I said something bright
you know there's only so much time
and our love will (???)
if you want to have a picnic I'll bring the watermelon and a bottle of wine
if you want to go to the beach, I'll bring the towels and we'll waste all our time
if you want to fly a kite, I'll bring you string and line to hang from

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 it's 'and our love was lights.' But, I'm not sure.

disc 2 is mocking modern music. ryland bouchard said in an interview that he hates this song and said that after recording it he never wanted to listen to it.

i thought it might say 'and our love will slice' because she is leaving and love dies usually even if they have good picnics.

I always thought it was "in our loveless lives". shrugs
