Roost Lyrics

Sweet
Sweet belief
Either call your friends to play

Lend me a sign
'Cause my rent is taken tomorrow
Run for hours, days
Louder than a megaphone

Wearing your shoes
High aim to lows, stealing wonder

I'm coming home
Home to roost
To roost
I'm coming to my home

I'm coming home
Home to roost
To roost
I'm coming to my home

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.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure the above lyrics are wrong. Here's the right ones:

Sweet Sweet darling Either call your friends to play

Or lay me aside 'Cause my ride is taking tomorrow (away/oh) Burn for hours and days Louder than a megaphone

Wearing your shoes I aim to roam, stealing wonder (away/oh)

I'm coming home Home to roost Tonight I've grown to love you

I'm coming home Home to roost Tonight I've grown to love you
