Rhythm Lyrics

When you curse your name
I'm a receiver
When your heart won't change
I'm a receipt
Do I love like a stranger?
The world keeps getting stranger all the time

And the distance is greater
Than any rope I ever tied around your waist to keep our tumbles in rhythm (Rhythm)
In rhythm (Rhythm)

Oh a heart is a pocket for loose change
We scrape and we save and we wait for a raise

Did you watch as our muscles divided
In rhythm (Rhythm)
In rhythm (Rhythm)

I cursed being a man
I cursed being the driver
I let go of the wheel some time last year
Then I sang to you in shifts
Until the mountains folded over
And your wrongs went through my wrist so you could sin

I love the world
I want to take it with me

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.

This song is amazing and beautiful. I'm not sure about the meaning of the whole song, but I love the lines: Oh a heart is a pocket for loose change We scrape and we save and we wait for a raise To me they mean that we all take what love we can get and save it up with hungry fingers. But, we're never quite satisfied and never well off like that, so we wait for that "one love" to come along and fulfill the needs we have.
