The Mall Lyrics

I went to the mall with you
You dragged me into the changing room
I could've died I was so happy
I felt so crazy I could've died

I went to the shore with you
Watched the storm roll into view
I saw clouds all full of lightning
Flashing pink deep inside the clouds

I am broken wide open
Bleeding everywhere
I am broken wide open
Bleeding everywhere

I walked into town with you
We snuck into the hotel pool
I saw rainbows round the streetlights
I saw halos around everything

And I am broken wide open
Bleeding everywhere
I am broken wide open
Bleeding everywhere
I am broken wide open
Bleeding everywhere
I am broken wide open
Bleeding everywhere

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.

aw, i love the part when he sings "i could've died i was so happy". when i first heard this song, i thought it was a broken-heart-type song when he said "i am broken wide open, bleeding everywhere" but then i thought maybe he's finally opened his heart & fallen in love with someone. i don't know.
