Do What You Do Lyrics

Come dance with me or I'll explode. The reckless side is now shining through you. So shake your hair and do what you do. And I'll break my legs to keep up with you.

'Cause I don't like being alone unless I feel alone. And dancing with you is everything so I know that I can't be wrong. Watch the light shine through us like ghosts as the candles burn as low as they go.

Spinning until we hit the floor, pain has never felt so good. Light ourselves up to crumble then just to never let it in.

And cut ourselves loose inside. Rip up the floor through the night and lock into each others eyes. The tables clear over time. Watch the light shine through us like ghosts as the candles burn as low as they go.

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.

From the booklet from Feast Or Famine:

Come dance with me or I'll explode. The reckless side is now shining through you. So shake your hair and do what you do, and I'll break my legs to keep up with you. Cause I don't like being alone, unless I feel alone. Dancing with you is everything, so I know that it can't be wrong. Steady after the wine, time after time after time, we watch the light shine through us like ghosts, as the candles burn as low as they go. Spinning until we hit the floor, the pain has never felt so good. We light ourselves up to crumble then, just to never let it end. Cause I don't like being alone, unless I feel alone. Dancing with you is everything, so I know that it can't be wrong. Steady after the wine, time after time after time, we watch the light shine through us like ghosts, as the candles burn as low as they go. So hold me close to keep me close, cause I don't like being alone unless I feel alone.
