Sylvia (If It Meant) Lyrics

Sylvia rubs buttercups on her chin
If the color comes off, she says, she's in love, love, love

Sylvia rubs buttercups on her chin
But the color doesn't come off

If it meant nothing
How come there is something
Keeping us from talking
If it meant nothing
How come I was running
Away from something

Sylvia rubs buttercups on her chin again
'Cause buttercups, they build you up and let you down again

If it meant nothing
How come there is something
Keeping us from talking
If it meant nothing
How come I was running
Away from something

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.
