In the Midnight Lyrics

In the moonlight
I was mistaken
Young hearts were breakin,
while we were apart.
I heard a crow caw,
I heard a dog bark
I saw the snow fall
and you were in my arms
I know it's me, who just could not agree
It wasn't them, who just wanted to pretend
Oh, Mama can't you see?

In the moonlight
I was mistaken
I wasn't fakin
on my quest to love you less
I tried to romance
I go out to dance, but I have no chance when it's You I love the best.
Last nite I walk alone
tonight I want to take you home
Say, Children

I know it's me, feels rooms always bend (?)
It wasn't them, with left less innocence (?)
No Mama can't you see?
I love you...
I need you...
I got to have you.

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.

danfran: I hear it something like this "I know it's me, for you rules always bend" which kinda makes sense. The next one I'm clueless on too. I hear "It wasn't them, with lettuce they never sang", but that doesn't make much sense either :)

Anyone got a clue what the "Say, Children" line means. Is it an invitation for the audience to sing along (like "everybody now!")?

Great song, anyway!

I think one of those last lines is, "It wasn't them with letters they never sent" or something.
