Something's Going To Happen In The Winter Lyrics

If I'm about to stop living
I want you before I go
Something's gonna happen in the winter

If I'm about to go mad
I want to talk to you
You and I make sense when we're together

Or if sleep is all I need to make me healthy
I know how well I sleep when I'm with you
You could be all I need
All I need
So if you want to break your heart
Be all I need

[If you've got...] If you've got nothing but trouble
You know whose side I'm on
Something's going to happen in the winter

If you can't see anything changing
But nothing stays the same
You've kept in touch with me for fourteen seasons

If a rest is all you need to keep you goin'
Well rest assured you'll be quite safe with me
I may be all you need
(Baby) All you need
So if I want to kid myself
I'm all you need

[If...] If life has never been better
And nothing much is wrong
Something's going to happen in the winter

We might be all we need
All we need
So if we want to fall in love
We're all we need

If life has never been better
And nothing much is wrong
Something's going to happen in the winter

If I'm about to stop living
I want you before I go
Something's gonna happen in the winter

If I'm about to go mad
I want to talk to you
You and I make sense when we're together

Or if sleep is all I need to make me healthy
I know how well I sleep when I'm with you
You could be all I need
All I need
So if you want to break your heart
Be all I need

[If you've got...] If you've got nothing but trouble
You know whose side I'm on
Something's going to happen in the winter

If you can't see anything changing
But nothing stays the same
You've kept in touch with me for fourteen seasons

If a rest is all you need to keep you goin'
Well rest assured you'll be quite safe with me
I may be all you need

So if I want to kid myself
I'm all you need

[If...] If life has never been better
And nothing much is wrong
Something's going to happen in the winter

We might be all we need
All we need
So if we want to fall in love
We're all we need

If life has never been better
And nothing much is wrong
Something's going to happen in the winter

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.
