Lack of Height Lyrics

With every new day
it makes me
crumble up further
the grating
I'm losing myself
dreaming of you
and dreaming of you
and dreaming of the last time I saw your face
when it disappeared from the staircase
you were so pleased with yourself
but I tried I tried to kiss your cheek
when we hugged goodbye
and I tried but the lack of height
made me kiss your neck instead
After the street signs got hazy
I stumbled the streets I was fading
trying to act like I wasn't steep
like I wasn't steep
Our backs
against the glass
the taxicab
and unpaid tabs
its hard to act like I'm asleep
I'm asleep
I tried to fight
the morning light
but it poured in
through your open door
and I tried
and I tried
to keep my eyes
closed for good
but I opened them
before you did
before you did
before you did doll
before you did doll
before before our backs
against the glass
the taxicab
and unpaid tabs
Its hard to act like I'm asleep
I'm asleep
I'm falling asleep
I'm falling asleep
I'm falling asleep
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling asleep
I'm falling asleep
I'm falling asleep
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling out of you
I'm falling out of you
I'm falling out of you

Half About Being a Woman

With every new day 
it makes me 
crumble up further 
the grating 
I'm losing myself 
dreaming of you 
and dreaming of you 
and dreaming of the last time I saw your face 
when it disappeared from the staircase 
you were so pleased with yourself 
but I tried I tried to kiss your cheek 
when we hugged goodbye 
and I tried but the lack of height 
made me kiss your neck instead
After the street signs got hazy 
I stumbled the streets I was fading 
trying to act like I wasn't steep 
like I wasn't steep 
Our backs 
against the glass 
the taxicab 
and unpaid tabs 
its hard to act like I'm asleep 
I'm asleep 
I tried to fight 
the morning light 
but it poured in 
through your open door 
and I tried 
and I tried 
to keep my eyes 
closed for good 
but I opened them 
before you did 
before you did 
before you did doll 
before you did doll 
before before our backs 
against the glass 
the taxicab 
and unpaid tabs 
Its hard to act like I'm asleep 
I'm asleep 
I'm falling asleep 
I'm falling asleep 
I'm falling asleep 
I'm falling 
I'm falling 
I'm falling asleep 
I'm falling asleep 
I'm falling asleep 
I'm falling 
I'm falling 
I'm falling 
I'm falling out of you 
I'm falling out of you 
I'm falling out of you

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.
