Hewlett Lyrics

Quick, get in,
Then wait for the door.

For a few seconds we'll do
What we've been waiting.

What I've been waiting
All night for.

As each floor passes,
I wish more and more,
That you lived at the top floor.

Two million feet tall
And you lived at the top floor.

Oh, now I realize more and more
That I would love to be the one,
Oh, I would love to be the one
Who makes you happy...
Or feel anything at all.

We've never even said a single thing out loud,
But I won't hold that against us.

Even if you were here,
We'd still let our eyes do the talking.

I find myself always forgetting this thing that should be involuntary.

You gotta breathe,
You gotta breathe,
You gotta breathe,
Oh, it's so cliche how you make my thoughts stop.

Oh, I would love to be the one,
Oh, I would love to be the one
Who makes you happy...
Or feel anything at all.

Oh, I would love to be the one,
Oh, I would love to be the one
Who makes you happy...

Quick, get in,
Then wait for the door.

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.

Cover art for Hewlett lyrics by Mile After, The

Hewlett gets it's name from the hall at UNC-W with the same name. I talked to the band about it and Chase said: "Hewlett is indeed about the dorm. The elevator in specific. The entire song is about an impromptu, drunk make-out session i had in that elevator one night freshman year."

:)! so there's the story. from one of the amazing boys, himself.
