All I Seem to Do Lyrics

Each time you leave
I can't know when
You will slip in
And lean against my door
And I will try to hide my eyes,
Seal my voice,
Try to deny,
How long I have
Waited here for you

Now I'm broken, hoping
That you'll glue me up again

[Chorus]
All I seem to do
Hold my breath,
Waiting here for you
And all I seem to want
Is the warmth
Of your hands on me
I can't bear to think
Of you leaving me again
And all I seem to want
Is the warmth of your skin

I wait to hear
Your car switch gears
Last night's glasses
Steam like cheap red wine
Your warm face
A thought misplaced
I sink into assorted grace
I pull up my shades
And finally sleep

Now I'm broken, hoping
That you'll glue me up again

[Chorus]

Oh, I will eat up
Every word you say (oh)
And if you love me
Let me stay (oooh)
(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(yeah-eah-eah-eah-eah-oh oh)

And all I seem to do
Hold my breath
Waiting here for you
And all I seem to want
Is the warmth
Of your fingers too
I can't bear to think
Of you leaving me again

And all I seem to want
Is the warmth of your skin [X2]

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.
