Soak It Up Lyrics

I show you somebody new
and when we get home I'll be waiting in the attic for you
so soak it up
so soak it up
so soak it up
so soak it up
so soak it up
so when the sun starts rising and the city's awake
and the drugs are wearing off
we'll soak it up
we'll soak it up
and when the colors start fading on the videotape
and the light burns holes in our eyes
we'll soak it up
we'll soak it up
we'll soak it up

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.

=_+ Im not so sure about the 1st line. I don't think hes saying "leaves on the body for you" but Im positive... "and when the cars start fading on the videotape and the light bulbs open our eyes" Should be... "and when the colors start fading on the videotape and the light burns holes in our eyes"
