seven years Lyrics

beneath the clothes you wore to sleep was the softest voice that ever spoke to me. asking, "are you warm under these sheets? are you sure that you want me?" these scars of mine are more than skin deep and there are ghosts in the air i breathe. and these ghosts will haunt your dreams. they'll taunt you in your sleep. saying, "oh, we know about the love you lost and need. hope's become a dirty secret you keep." and you're always the dreamer, never the dream. but i will listen to the air above your street and in seven years you will sing a song for me. my darling, you're only fifteen, but in seven years you will see.

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.

I'm pretty sure it's "these SCARS of mine are more than skin deep."
