Salt Lyrics

I'd like to take all the salt from the sea
And put it inside of your car
I think that would preserve you
And keep you from going to far

I walk the corner, the street lights
Flicker and frown at me
I don't know where you are tonight
But I know where you're not

The kids are waiting to see you at Christmas
But you're not coming back
And I hope I can get out of bed some time soon
But all I can say is please

Please let me lay here
Please let me lay here
Please let me lay here
Please let me lay here

I'd like to take all the salt from the sea
And pour inside of your heart
I think that would preserve the love
That would keep us from falling apart

I can't do this on my own
I need you by my side
I don't know who you are tonight
But I know who you're not

And the kids are waiting to see you at Christmas
But you're not coming back
And they hope I can get
Out of bed some time soon
But all I can say is please

Please let me lay here
Please let me lay here
Please let me lay here
Please let me lay here

I'd like to take all the salt from the sea
And put it inside of your car
I think that would preserve you
And keep you from going to far

I walk the corner, the street lights
Flicker and frown at me
I don't know where you are tonight
But I know where you're not

The kids are waiting to see you at Christmas
But you're not coming back 
And I hope I can get out of bed some time soon
But all I can say is please

Please let me lay here
Please let me lay here
Please let me lay here
Please let me lay here

I'd like to take all the salt from the sea 
And pour inside of your heart
I think that would preserve the love
That would keep us from falling apart

I can't do this on my own
I need you by my side
I don't know who you are tonight
But I know who you're not

And the kids are waiting to see you at Christmas
But you're not coming back
And they hope I can get 
Out of bed some time soon
But all I can say is please

Please let me lay here
Please let me lay here
Please let me lay here
Please let me lay here

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.
