across the street Lyrics

today the south is covered in snow
away sometimes my memory goes
i'm the queen and you're the king
never did much together
if you're as smooth as you are sweet
i'll come to you from across the street
i ain't gonna drive all over you
i ain't goin down that road
leaves are turning
the air gets cold
lake frozen over
the season unfolds
in my bed i cannot rest
until we sleep together
i'm gonna stay right here
'til you change your mind
i'm so broken hearted
and i'm worried all the time
the easiest work i ever done
was swinging my true loves arm
the hardest work i ever done
was working out on the farm

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.

A very simple, beautiful love song. Kind of reminds you of that bliss you feel when you first fall in love with someone, the high from the endorphins of love. As a side note, this song was co-written by HNIA mastermind Warren Defever and Mark Kozelek (of Red House Painters at the time, and Sun Kil Moon currently).
