Clean Up Lyrics

Dirty mugs lining my dresser
Circle stains remaining long after
clean up
Clean up

Toss in bed until 9:30
Dishes left, my house is dirty
Clean up
Clean up

After my coffee I'm ready to find us work
I can't seem to buy you all of the things you're worth
It hurts
Clean Up

But if you give me more time let me figure this out
A little more love to ease my doubt
A couple more years and we'll reach the top
This guitar is gonna give us our way out
Please don't give up now

Car was towed at nine this morning
Minneapolis I need more warning
Clean up
Street clean up

To the impound with the rest of the city
This part of town is awfully filthy
Clean up
Street clean up

Making us dinner was never this difficult
We don't have the option to go out as often
We work until
clean up

But if you give me more time let me figure this out
A little more love to ease my doubt
A couple more years and we'll reach the top
This guitar is gonna give us our way out
Please don't give up now

All in a circle all in the round
Together we sing around and around

Whispering Endearments

Dirty mugs lining my dresser
Circle stains remaining long after 
clean up
Clean up

Toss in bed until 9:30
Dishes left, my house is dirty
Clean up
Clean up

After my coffee I'm ready to find us work
I can't seem to buy you all of the things you're worth 
It hurts
Clean Up

But if you give me more time let me figure this out
A little more love to ease my doubt
A couple more years and we'll reach the top
This guitar is gonna give us our way out
Please don't give up now

Car was towed at nine this morning
Minneapolis I need more warning
Clean up
Street clean up

To the impound with the rest of the city
This part of town is awfully filthy 
Clean up
Street clean up

Making us dinner was never this difficult
We don't have the option to go out as often
We work until 
clean up

But if you give me more time let me figure this out
A little more love to ease my doubt
A couple more years and we'll reach the top
This guitar is gonna give us our way out
Please don't give up now

All in a circle all in the round
Together we sing around and around

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.
