So, In Closing Lyrics

From the mattress that sleeps on the floor
I think that you should know that I couldn’t
Love anything more than
And the times that we’ve spent on your novels and plans
Killing all of the silence without blinking or moving a hand

I want to take you for granted
Rip off your clothes like a bad force of habit
I want to take this for granted
Roll on the floor as if we hadn’t planned this at all

From the broken back seat of the van
I wanted you to know that I miss you as much as I can
And the books and the letters you stowed with my shirts
Cause me laughter and fear and a new kind of hurt

I want to take you for granted
Rip off your clothes like a bad force of habit
I want to take this for granted
Roll on the floor as if we hadn’t planned this at all

(What'd you think. Chase the truth. Make me believe)

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.
