Cherry Tulips Lyrics

i can't sleep in silence
can't be pitch black in my room
i need some lights on, some distraction
so i won't move

and in the middle of the night when i have
drifted off in sleep
i see a thousand cherry tulips lined up
along my street

i want the sea
i want the whole sea
(and endless cherries)
for you and me
(for crimson colors)
for you and me
(all just for you and me)

and in in the middle of the night when i have
drifted off in sleep
i see a thousand cherry tulips lined up
along my street

i want the sea
i want the whole sea
(and endless cherries)
for you and me
(for crimson colors)
for you and me
(all just for you and me)

i want the sea
i want the whole sea
(and endless cherries)
for you and me
(all crimson colors)
for you and me
(all just for you and me)

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 can't sleep in silence; Can't be pitch black in my room. I need some lights on, some distraction So I won't WORRY."

Nonetheless, I can agree with halxe. Love it, but don't perfectly understand. Perhaps, given the "so I won't worry," it's about two people in love but with one of them facing troubles. Having the whole sea, then, could be seen as having a world of their own, away from the problems of the current life. And, well, who doesn't love cherries? Haha, the best I can figure.
