Noise In This World Lyrics

I'm looking for a girlfriend, I want everything
Noise in this world
Someone to lie next to
I want
Wherever I want
Tearing at my own face
I want
Wherever I want

I'm just the crossed out names
in your address book
Sticks in wet tar
Sticks in my mouth
Make me feel as false as you look

You're so graceful, you're so hateful,
I feel clumbsy when I'm near you
I want
Wherever I want
Whatever jacknife feels right
Tearing at my own face
I want
Wherever I like

I'm just the crossed out names
in your address book
Sticks in wet tar
Sticks in my mouth
Make me feel as false as you look

I'm looking for a girlfriend, I want everything
Noise in this world
Someone to lie next to
I want
Wherever I want
Whatever jacknife feels right
Tearing at my own face
I want
Wherever I want

I'm just the crossed out names
in your address book
Sticks in wet tar
Sticks in my mouth
Make me feel as false as you look

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.

Pretty straight forward. A guy is looking for a girlfriend but isn't having any luck.
