Pickin' Up Rocks Lyrics

In the moonlight
A lover in sight
Another recollection you have chosen
In hindsight
Another lip bite
Another memory that we have woven

Picking up rocks so heavy
I canï¿½t get home
Picking up rocks so heavy
I canï¿½t get home
Oh

In daylight
Our hands are inside
Weï¿½re walking, talking
Like weï¿½re ten years younger

In my mind
It was a fine time
Until the falling to my knees
Now bleeding

picking up rocks so heavy
I canï¿½t get home
Picking up rocks so heavy
I canï¿½t get home
Oh

Oh weï¿½re the same way
Oh weï¿½re the same way
Oh you look at me the same
You did years ago

Picking up rocks so heavy
I canï¿½t get home
Picking up rocks so heavy
I canï¿½t get home
Oh

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.
