Howl Lyrics

We expect dawn around morning
I trust the rise of the sun
I've been up late with the nightbirds
Begging the dawn not to come
Begging the dawn not to come

Oh how I don't want to leave you
So much I can't hardly bear
I have things I must tend to
Will you stay as you are lying there?
Would you stay as you are lying there?

Kissing the rain off my shoulders
Answering questions with stares
Holding ?? like I'm a wild horse
About to run away scared
About to run away scared

Sun kicks the moon off the mountain
That is my cue to leave
The long pleas of women
Oft silent so they don't wake those who sleep
So they don't wake those who sleep

Howl at the moon
Howl at the moon
I'll come find you
Howl at the moon
Howl at the moon
I'll come find you

I'll come get you
Hope you haven't changed your mind
I'll come get you
Hope that you haven't changed your mind
Be mine be mine be mine...

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.
