Thinkin' Out Loud Lyrics

A day unlike I have seen
No sound, no smell
Know what I mean?
Now I'll see what today will bring

Earth opens wide
Swallows me whole
I slide to where I do not know
The end of life as I've known

Cause I've been
Searchin' for somethin'
Down here
Thinkin' out loud
Waitin' for nothin'
My mind's been
Thinkin' out loud

I end up where I began
Or is this part of the plan?
I slowly turn my head around

Cause I've been
Searchin' for somethin'
Down here
Thinkin' out loud
Waitin' for nothin'
My mind's been
Thinkin' out loud

Searchin' for somethin'
Down here
Thinkin' out loud
Waitin' for nothin'
My mind's been
Thinkin' out loud

I walk alone
The town is dry
I recall prophet from the sky
Earth opened wide
Swallowed me whole
So on and on I go

Cause I've been
Searchin' for somethin'
Down here
Thinkin' out loud
Waitin' for nothin'
My mind's been
Thinkin' out loud

Searchin' for somethin'
Down here
Thinkin' out loud
Waitin' for nothin'
My mind's been
Thinkin' out loud

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.
