Septemberism Lyrics

The rain poured down on the day that I left to
Hang with you in New York
And every little thing, every little thing
Made me miss you more
So I kept running
It's like I had never been so sure
Of doing something stupid doing something without thinking
I'm just tryna make a getaway to you
And I'd have gone a thousand miles more

I'll meet you in your head
Tonight when you're in bed

The one time that I came to your house
And I was freezing outside until you finally came out
And you pulled me by the arm and we went around back
Then you glared me up and down though you say you don't remember that
Then we went downstairs I saw your bedroom and stuff
And I tried to say some things but you said to shut up
And I looked at you you were so damn cute
Sifting through the pages of the pictures that you drew

I'll meet you in your head
Tonight when you're in bed
I know you're thinking of me
You're everything that I hoped for
And I'm all the shit that you go for
Stop kidding yourself now

I hate you, you should've picked up the phone tonight
You should have picked up the phone!

Love Your Friends Die Laughing

I'll meet you in your head
Tonight when you're in bed

I'll meet you in your head
Tonight when you're in bed
I know you're thinking of me
You're everything that I hoped for
And I'm all the shit that you go for
Stop kidding yourself now

I hate you, you should've picked up the phone tonight
You should have picked up the phone!

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.

"I hate you, you should've picked up the phone tonight" is very Brand New. I love this band, and I love this song.
