Two Weeks Till the Midwest Lyrics

I hear you crack backs
I hear you paint pictures of Mexican revolutions
this will be over soon
this will be over soon
this will be over soon

I hear you crack backs
I hear you paint pictures of Mexican revolutions
this will be over soon
this will be over soon

so let me hear your heartbeat
let me hear your heartbeat
the house is empty
I can't make it to the bathroom sink alone

I think that I am dying
and I need someone to say
Liz, close your eyes you'll wake up
tomorrow, I promise

I think that I am dying
and I need someone to say
Liz, close your eyes you'll wake up tomorrow
I promise

I think that I am dying
and I need someone to say
Liz, close your eyes you'll wake up tomorrow
I promise

two weeks till the Midwest
we stay completely still
keep looking straight on
do you think I'm pretty?
do you want to kiss me yet?

keep looking straight on
do you want to kiss me yet?

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.

This song is so sweet.

The meaning of this is either:

a) She is dying of some kind of disease and needs someone to comfort her as the disease gets worse and she moves closer to death. b) She is heartbroken and needs someone to be there for her, to love her.
