Red Wine Lips Lyrics

You see these red wine lips?
I didn't dream up this
Out on suburban curbs
I'm always restless first

But when the truth is told;
We're all dreamers you know
I've always wanted more
than I could ever hold

And I know that it's a fine line
But I know that I've got time

Oh, how could a steeple made of ceiling wax
Ever need fall down?

Remember we had it all
Every belle and ball
But just all ever
I wanted more

And well I sure got that
Yeah I killed that cat
But I hope one fine day
I'll stop looking back

And I know that it's a fine line
Oh I know it's a high wire

Oh, how could a steeple made of innocence
Oh golden arch
Burning heart

Oh, steeple made of ceiling wax
Ever need fall down?

You see these red wine lips?
I didn't dream up this
Out on suburban curbs
I'm always restless first

But when the truth is told;
We're all dreamers you know
I've always wanted more
Than I could ever hold

And I know that it's a fine line
Oh I know it's a high wire

Oh, how could a steeple made of innocence
Oh golden arch
Burning heart

Oh, steeple made of ceiling wax
Ever need fall down?

You see these red wine lips?
I didn't dream up this
Out on suburban curbs
I'm always restless first

But when the truth is told;
We're all dreamers you know
I've always wanted more

And I know that it's a fine line
But I know that I've got time

Oh, how could a steeple made of ceiling wax
Ever need fall down?

Remember we had it all
Every belle and ball
But just all ever
I wanted more

And well I sure got that
Yeah I killed that cat
But I hope one fine day
I'll stop looking back

And I know that it's a fine line
Oh I know it's a high wire

Oh, how could a steeple made of innocence
Oh golden arch
Burning heart

Oh, steeple made of ceiling wax
Ever need fall down?

You see these red wine lips?

I'm always restless first

But when the truth is told;
We're all dreamers you know

And I know that it's a fine line
Oh I know it's a high wire

Oh, how could a steeple made of innocence
Oh golden arch
Burning heart

Oh, steeple made of ceiling wax
Ever need fall down?

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.
