It Lyrics

I was in the closet
Sucking on my medicine
Waiting for an answer
Praying for a Savior
When suddenly I heard a voice
Singing in my back yard
I put on my yellow overcoat
You wouldn't believe what I saw

I hid in the lilacs
And watched the figure dancing
But the dandelions saw me
You tattletales!
You tattletales!

From another galaxy
Would you please take me
Cause everything here is confusing
Everything here is confusing
She gave me a piece of rhubarb
And left me here in the backyard
She took a sparrow on her ship
I guess I wasn't ready for it

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 feels like becoming an atheist to me.

The first part is drifting from faith, hoping something will make you believe again. When you finally get out of it, you see differently, all of your opinions change based on what the world is really like to you, not what you've been taught. The dandelions are liked loved ones that don't agree with you, which is annoying, because your view is really beautiful to you. "everything here is confusing" because you don't understand why you're not accepted and you don't see why people still hold to their beliefs. You want to escape, maybe even just for a while. "I guess I wasn't ready for it." She left you with what she had and flew away. The little help she can give. You have to survive with this little bit.

So what is it? Realization, acceptation, something....
