P.S. Lyrics

I can't make real life as good as television
One shoe on and one shoe off
And I can't pick a position

I set the VCR to record, rewind, and fast-forward
I cut out all the bad parts
I don't want to watch anything that hurts
Anything that

I can't build real love out of paper cuts and plastic
Couldn't decide what to give
So I left you the facts, and that's it
Now you know what's in me
How to go from girl to steel

I set the VCR to record, rewind, and fast-forward
I cut out all the bad parts
I don't want to watch anything that hurts
Anything that...

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.

Those lyrics are all wrong. These are out of the booklet.

I can't make real life as good as television One shoe on and one shoe off and I can't pick a position

I set the VCR to record, rewind, and fast-forward. I cut out all the bad parts, I don't want to watch anything that hurts. Anything that-

I can't build real love out of paper cuts and plastic, Couldn't decide what to give, so I left you the facts, and that's it. Now you know what's in me, How to go from girl to steel.

I set the VCR to record, rewind, and fast-forward. I cut out all the bad parts, I don't want to watch anything that hurts. Anything that...

On a side note, this girl is ridiculously awesome live and possibly the nicest artist I've ever met. If you've never seen her live, go to her site and go as soon as you can.
