Edith Lyrics

Edith Wharton knows where it’s at
Sledging toward the Varnum’s and Count Olenska
Beat beat my heart like a baseball bat
Newland walks back alone to his hotel

Find yourself somebody to love
Try to find somebody who’ll love you back
Don’t keep your heart with a lock or a key
Put all your trust in me
Someone’s gonna get hurt tonight
Someone's gonna get hurt tonight

My life’s not much like a novel
I can’t find somebody that’s worth real sacrifice
Beat beat my heart as much as I might
If God is an author Wharton is a better one
I believe in love but not every day

Find yourself somebody to love
Try to find somebody who’ll love you back
Don’t keep your heart with a lock or a key
Put all your trust in me
Someone’s gonna get hurt tonight
Someone's gonna get hurt tonight

My life’s not much like a novel
It’s hard to see the beauty in it
Sometimes I long for plot or structure
The sense of order fiction brings
Someone’s gonna get hurt tonight
Someone's gonna get hurt tonight
Someone's gonna get hurt tonight

Edith Wharton knows where it’s at 
Sledging toward the Varnum’s and Count Olenska 
Beat beat my heart like a baseball bat 
Newland walks back alone to his hotel

Find yourself somebody to love 
Try to find somebody who’ll love you back 
Don’t keep your heart with a lock or a key 
Put all your trust in me 
Someone’s gonna get hurt tonight
Someone's gonna get hurt tonight
 
My life’s not much like a novel 
I can’t find somebody that’s worth real sacrifice 
Beat beat my heart as much as I might 
If God is an author Wharton is a better one 
I believe in love but not every day
 
Find yourself somebody to love 
Try to find somebody who’ll love you back 
Don’t keep your heart with a lock or a key 
Put all your trust in me 
Someone’s gonna get hurt tonight
Someone's gonna get hurt tonight

My life’s not much like a novel 
It’s hard to see the beauty in it 
Sometimes I long for plot or structure 
The sense of order fiction brings
Someone’s gonna get hurt tonight
Someone's gonna get hurt tonight
Someone's gonna get hurt tonight

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.
