In The Library Lyrics

Put your finger on my lips
We could be a grown up fairy tale
Swimming in a library
We're not going anywhere

She said I love it
Oh I love it when we touch
When we touch on something
we can't find it any something

something on my own
In this ocean of words
these something on my own

Cover up the blankets
Cover up the blankets from the years
that our parents gave us
to keep out the cold
and the unknown
something regrew
into a forest of desire
cut down some friends that I knew
who were gonna start a forest fire

something on my own
In this ocean of words
something on my own.

Can't stop the spill.
Can't stop the spill.
Can't stop the spill.

She said I love it
I love it when we touch
When we touch on something
We can't find it any something

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 is one of my favorites of all time. Here are the correct lyrics:

Put your finger on my lips We could be a grown up fairy tale Swimming in a library We're not going anywhere

She said I love it Oh I love it when we touch When we touch on something we can't find it any book

At least I'm not on my own In this ocean of words At least I'm not on my own

Cover up the blankets Cover up the blankets from the years that our parents gave us to keep out the cold and the unknown And when we want to regroup into a forest of desire cut down some friends that I knew who were gonna start a forest fire

At least I'm not on my own In this ocean of words At least I'm not on my own.

Can't stop the spill. Can't stop the spill. Can't stop the spill.

She said I love it I love it when we touch When we touch on something We can't find it any book.
