Tongue-Tied Lyrics

Now that everything has been sold
This song is hard
To love, to love, to love
Ooh

Trust has been a little frazzled
With a song that might
Be sold in twenty years to sell beer
Ooh

But don't we all love to sing a song together
And don't we all just love to sing along

Sorry if I'm a little tongue-tied
But it's been so long
Since I talked to anyone
Ooh

Sorry if my body is a furnace
But it's been so long
Since I touched anyone
Ooh

Sorry if my clouds are in the mirror
But in the window it's clear
It's clear, I'm clear as everyone
Ooh

Sorry if my song's a little shy
But it's been so long
Since I sung to anyone
Ooh

But don't we all love to sing a song together
And don't we all just love to sing along

Now that everything has been sold
This song is hard
To love, to love, to love
Ooh

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.
