Southern Accent Lyrics

Last night's squabbles
are hanging in the air
I'm trying not to care, but I just can't

Stop objecting,
'cause every interjection
brings you closer to rejection and disgrace

Just give me something I can take in my hands
Just give me something I can feel and understand

After hours, I'm sifting through my day
I picked out every mistake that I made
I tried talking, but every word I spoke came out like it was from the script of the tirade

I can't help it if everywhere I walk
I'm stepping onto somebody's fingers

Just give me something I can take in my hands
Just give me something without question or demand
Just give me something I can take in my hands
Just give me something I can feel and understand

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.
