A Girl's Toolbox Lyrics

I see what you see
I know what you know
I hear what you hear
I feel what you feel
Don't look through me like I am nothing
Don't look through me like I am nothing
I've got a wrench
I've got a screw
I've got a hammer
But the nail isn't you
Come with me we will build a housetree
We will see
We will tear down these streets
Tear down these streets
Tear down these streets
I'm spinning, I'm turning around [×4]
I'm turning around, I'm turning around
I'm spinning, I'm turning around[×2]
I see what you see
I know what you know
I hear what you hear
I feel what you feel

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 kind of think this one is pretty self-explanatory.

It's a girl basically saying "Ok. You can stay with me. I'll love you. But you're not the nail that holds my world together."

I've got a wrench I've got a screw. I've got a hammer but the nail isn't you.

Self-explanatory, yes?
