Awkward Orchid Orchard Lyrics

night fell, light fell, morning broke
the night must have fallen on morning iteself
if you don't have the word for it what do you say?
and if you never heard the word how can you feel that way
now the bells of the awkward orchid orchard swing to me
baby save me, set me free
you know these branches are the cause of the breeze
baby save me, bring me peace
you're the one who understands this
oh oh oh
tent car, spent car, vector road
it had bad graphics took a long time to load
oh look at me now i got nothing to show
all of that time never learned how to sew
now the bells of the awkward orchid orchard swing to me
baby save me, set me free
you know these branches are the cause of the breeze
baby save me, bring me peace
you're the one who understands this
oh
now the bells of the awkward orchid orchard sway to me
the bells of the awkward orchid orchard they sway to me
the bells of the awkward orchid orchard sway to me yeah yeah
baby save me, set me free
you know these branches are the cause of the breeze
baby save me, bring me peace
you know these branches are the cause of the breeze
oh baby save me, set me free
you're the one who understands this

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.

just annotated these myself from listening to the song, so I'm happy to take suggestions on any changes to the lyrics. I think I got them pretty accurate though...
