By The Window Lyrics

As I sit here by the window
Trying to get you off the phone
We could sit and watch the wind blow
Kick back and watch cloud patterns roll
The sun refused to yield to your layman's future
?? fields
Take down your computers
I don't want to let you down
Dream on and let your body go
Let it move so slow
You can roll your own way home

I have come to watch the grass grow
Underground ??
I just sit inside this stray hole
Trading secrets on a wind
Karen's body dappled
Lengthening the shadows
Found me quite an actress
Trust me in the green grass
Set your diamonds down
Dream on and let them go
Let your body move so slow
And roll your own way home

I sit here and watch the world grow
Big stuck crosswinds in my head
I can't tell you where the days go
How the whole thing's gonna end
I can tell you ??
By the ribbons in your hair
I can ?? you again
Lovely creatures in the air
I won't let you down
Dream on and let your body go
Let it move so slow
You can roll your own way home

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.
