I Am Sold Lyrics

Blink like dog to man, I am sold
And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel
You said it was a flash of green
But you hadn't known

And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel
And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel
And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel

And we lay, nocturnal
And we lay, nocturnal
And we lay, nocturnal
And we lay, nocturnal

And they all don their ballet shoes
The snow comes like a breath
But it may be the constellation
That shows us where we are

And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel
And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel
And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel
And we lay, nocturnal

So most alone you felt
I'm glad I could help
I could talk this over twenty times again
Everything you've learned from a past island
So most alone you felt
I'm glad I could help

And they all don their ballet shoes
The snow comes like a breath
But it may be the constellation
That shows us where we are

And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel
And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel
And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel
And we lay, nocturnal

And we lay, nocturnal
And we lay, nocturnal
And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel

Why Don't You Call Me

Blink like dog to man, I am sold
And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel
You said it was a flash of green 
But you hadn't known

And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel
And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel
And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel

And we lay, nocturnal
And we lay, nocturnal
And we lay, nocturnal
And we lay, nocturnal

And they all don their ballet shoes
The snow comes like a breath
But it may be the constellation
That shows us where we are

And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel
And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel
And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel
And we lay, nocturnal

So most alone you felt
I'm glad I could help
I could talk this over twenty times again
Everything you've learned from a past island
So most alone you felt
I'm glad I could help

And they all don their ballet shoes
The snow comes like a breath
But it may be the constellation
That shows us where we are

And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel
And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel
And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel
And we lay, nocturnal

And we lay, nocturnal
And we lay, nocturnal
And we lay, nocturnal
Speculate what we feel

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.
