Summertime Lyrics

Saving it up
Savoring every ounce of sunlight
What comes to be, gradually
Feels like overnight

So, bundle up
And hunker down
See you on the other side
Mercury falls so
How, how do we make it though the days?
How do we not cave in, and bottom out?
Well, you have to understand that
Soon enough we'll wake up from such a
daze,
thanks to all the many ways
We're all pushing through, for Summertime

We cover it up, we bottle it in,
But that won't make it feel right
Toppin' it off, rubbing it in
There's always a big mess of white

So bundle up
And hunker down
Here it comes again
Just one more round
See you on the other side
Mercury falls so

How, how do we make it though the days?
How do we not cave in, and bottom out?
Well, you have to understand that
Soon enough we'll wake up from such a daze,
thanks to all the many ways
We're all pushing through for Summertime
Our love pushing through, for Summertime
How, how do we make it though the days?
How do we not cave in, and bottom out?
Well, you have to understand that
Soon enough we'll wake up from such a daze,
thanks to all the many ways
We're all pushing through, for Summertime

Tonight Is The Night I Fell Asleep At The Wheel

Saving it up
Savoring every ounce of sunlight
What comes to be, gradually
Feels like overnight

We cover it up, we bottle it in,
But that won't make it feel right
Toppin' it off, rubbing it in
There's always a big mess of white

So bundle up
And hunker down
Here it comes again
Just one more round
See you on the other side
Mercury falls so

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.
