Tonight Lyrics

You feel your soul collapse and shake
While you're still breathing air and taking
What you need while still believing
That you'll meet someone who's
Feeling just as small and cold,
But only wants you for your soul,
And then you might not feel so hopeless
But all you really want is just this:

Tonight: we'll write a whole life story, oh tonight
I'll take a chance that you may say you might
Spend some time with me and stay the night, hold tight
This time it doesnt have to end tonight

Let's make these moments last awhile,
It's just so rare to see you smile,
It's youre heart youre defending
And im pretending to read between the lines that we cast in the sand
With the ever slightest sleight of hand
That could almost be described as nothing
But still i wanna be your man

Tonight, we'll write a whole life story, oh tonight, alright
I'll take a chance that you may say you might, alright
Spend some time with me and stay the night, hold tight
This time it doesnt have to end tonight

(repeat chorus)

Nobody's Around

You feel your soul collapse and shake 
While you're still breathing air and taking 
What you need while still believing 
That you'll meet someone who's 
Feeling just as small and cold, 
But only wants you for your soul, 
And then you might not feel so hopeless 
But all you really want is just this:

Tonight: we'll write a whole life story, oh tonight
I'll take a chance that you may say you might
Spend some time with me and stay the night, hold tight
This time it doesnt have to end tonight

Let's make these moments last awhile,
It's just so rare to see you smile,
It's youre heart youre defending 
And im pretending to read between the lines that we cast in the sand 
With the ever slightest sleight of hand 
That could almost be described as nothing 
But still i wanna be your man

Tonight, we'll write a whole life story, oh tonight, alright
I'll take a chance that you may say you might, alright
Spend some time with me and stay the night, hold tight
This time it doesnt have to end tonight

(repeat chorus)

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.
