Telephone Lines Lyrics

For such a quiet guy she said
you've got a lot to say.
you can close your eyes she said
but try to stay awake

50 miles away tonight
it doesn't seem that far
the world is not so big
since the invention of the car

and telephone lines
are just fine sometimes
What I need right now
is to see
those two sweet
brown eyes.

We'll take the freeway
down to where the asphalt meets the dirt
peel the layers back
until you finally reach the earth
hold you breath
and count the lights
until the tunnel ends.
we could drive out
to the lake and watch
the way the sunlight bends.

and telephone lines
are just fine sometimes
but I need right now
is to see
those two sweet
brown eyes.

Tact effects the way we act.
for fear of how we might sound foolish
we might sound foolish
we might be wrong
and this song is just a stupid attempt
to say holding her feels right

and telephone lines
are just fine sometimes
what i need right now
is to see
those two sweet
there so sweet
telephone lines
are just fine sometimes
what I need right now
is to see
those two sweet
brown eyes.

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.
