I Thought I Saw Lyrics

I didn't mean to break you
Or break across the line
But I saw you moving
Don't you think I know
I thought I saw you moving
Don't you think I know

I love you more than anything
A rainy day, a wedding ring
I came into your house last night
I creeped and checked it out

You can look at who you want
But don't you think I know
You can look at who you want
But don't you think I know

Write your letter for all your life
Hope somebody reads
Your hair still wet when I found you
Someone drowned you in a stream

I thought I saw you moving
Don't you think I know
I thought I saw you moving
Don't you think I know
I thought I saw you moving
Don't you think I know

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.

An awesome song that seems to be about a jealous person stalking an ex-lover. Warren has said you can take it that way, but it's really about a Manson Family killing, and one person who survives by "playing possum." The killer thinks he sees this person moving. Either way, it's a morbid song but sounds like it could be by The Carpenters.

However you want to take it, it's a great song...one of the best of 2006, IMHO. David Bowie agreed, making the song's melody his ringtone.

Detrola is such an amazing record, one of HNIA's best. It's too bad 4AD dropped the band four years prior. They really could have used a record this good that year.
