Light Will Keep Your Heart Beating in the Future Lyrics

I was in many minds
I was in an airport bookstore
I wait for many moons
Left the suitcase on the fourth floor

Enormous balloons
Gold choker made out of spoons
Eatin' super sugar crisp
I was gettin' used to this, well

Light will keep your heart beating in the future

There was a lot of them
There was a bloody fight next door
There was a cracked stem
There was a ghoul on the misty moor

City bus
Ketamine
Lucy Lawless
Magazine
Out of base
Lucky charm
Outer space
Smoke alarm

Light will keep your heart beating in the future

Overlap
Overleaf
Shoulder strap
Fire chief
Porch swing
Muddy lace
Purple wine
Freckled face

Heavy hand
Closed door
Contraband
North shore
Fire line
Margarine
Rotten line
Mandarin

Light will keep your heart beating in the future

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.
