The Belly Of The Whale Lyrics

You know it's easy to get me to stay
You know that you never fail
And you know it's easy to get me to stay
With you in the belly of the whale

And you know I can't be where I am tonight
But I am a twist in the tail
And you know I can't be where I am tonight
With you in the belly of the whale

And I will sing for you
And slow your hair down for a little while
Yeah, I will sing for you
Just don't ask me if this is what I want
Cause I know that you know that it's not

Just don't ask me if this is what I want
Cause I know that you know that it's not

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.

At a signing Megan said that she wrote this while waiting for a guy to fall asleep after she went home with him expecting to play Mario Kart on wii.. not realising the guy's real intentions..
