Matchmaker Lyrics

The ground was filled with snow, I really had to go
'Cause I saw you waiting for me
Before my inner eyes, and figured out replies
That would make it easier to see
That spring took a halt in kindness
Just to clear out our blindness
Matchmaker, a grand faker
Matchmaking me to you
Matchmaker, a grand faker
Matchmaking me to you

I'm not among the crowd, who screams out loud
But who whispers, when they are afraid
I'm quiet, the reverse, I don't like to rehearse
So socializing may seem dull with me
But you don't seem to mind, kind as you are, one of a kind
Matchmaker, a grand faker
Matchmaking me to you

Happy love cartoons, April fools
I'm so grateful for the way you're carrying me
Heavy load I guess but I confess
Half of the time I'm pushing you in front of me
The ground was filled with snow, I really had to go
'Cause I saw you waiting for me
Before my inner eyes, and figured out replies
That would make it easier to see
That spring took a halt in kindness
Just to clear out our blindness
Matchmaker, a grand faker
Matchmaking me to you
Matchmaker, a grand faker
Matchmaking me to you

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.
