Lazy May Lyrics

Your heart perched in a tree
Kept from all the scene
Woah, oh my lazy May

Careful, I'm a cloud
Lookin' down upon it now
Woah, oh my lazy May

When the winter comes
You're beatin' your own drum
Woah, oh my lazy May

Then it's summertime
You say you're lucky to be mine
Woah, oh my lazy May

I, I love you
I, I love you
Oooh my lazy May

I, I love you
I, I love you
Oooh my lazy May

You've never seen a rose
More guarded than those of
Oh, oh my lazy May

But I know what time of day
Those thorns melt away
Oh, oh my lazy May

I, I love you
I, I love you
Oooh my lazy May

I, I love you
I, I love you
Oooh my lazy May

Now the season ends
You say we're better off as friends
Oh, oh my lazy May

Tryin' all you will
I'll marry you still
Oh, oh my lazy May

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.

Cover art for Lazy May lyrics by Essex Green, The

I think this song is about a girl who is not taking a relationship as seriously as her partner. She wants it to be casual, 'off and on', so to speak. But, the boy is really in love with her, and wants her to see that. He knows her better than anyone else, and he'll take her back no matter how many times she leaves him.
