Nectarine (Part One) Lyrics

Oh Nectarine
You're the one to coax the darkness out of me
Yeah, out of me
Oh Nectarine
You're the one who showed the ghost to me
Don't gaslight me

dndddndndndndndddddddndndn
dndddndndndndndddddddndndn
Oh Nectarine

Let's run away from life and pass the can
Cash on demand
Oh Nectarine
Let's burn, and build, and burn
Without a plan
Let's ditch the van

Happiness is coming for you.
When you sleep.
When you're dreaming.
On your face:
What you're feeling.
Oh Nectarine
Are you free to lay the daylight out of me,
Relentlessly?
Oh yes I am
Yes I truly am your true and trusted man
And we're on the lam

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.
