Standing in the Middle of the Field Lyrics

Find love, build it on sand
Build it on bricks, build it on land
Find love, swinging in the wind
Watching it some more, build it back again

Find love, lying on the shore
Drifting out to sea, lost forever more
Find love, strangest of things
But chaos inside, peace that it brings

(that it brings, that it brings)

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, watch me slowly fall apart
You've gotta give up the things you love to make it better
Been holding on, but all I'm holding on is hurt
You've gotta give up the things you love to make it better

Find love, build it on sand
Build it on bricks, build it on land
Find love, swinging in the wind
Watching it some more, build it back again

Find love, lying on the shore
Drifting out to sea, lost forever more
Find love, strangest of things
But chaos inside, peace that it brings

(oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, watch me slowly fall apart
You've gotta give up the things you love to make it better
Been holding on, but all I'm holding on is hurt
You've gotta give up the things you love to make it better

Find love, build it on sand
Build it on bricks, build it on land
Find love, swinging in the wind
Watching it some more, build it back again

Find love, lying on the shore
Drifting out to sea, lost forever more
Find love, strangest of things
But chaos inside, peace that it brings

(that it brings, that it brings)

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, watch me slowly fall apart
You've gotta give up the things you love to make it better
Been holding on, but all I'm holding on is hurt
You've gotta give up the things you love to make it better

Find love, build it on sand
Build it on bricks, build it on land
Find love, swinging in the wind
Watching it some more, build it back again

Find love, lying on the shore
Drifting out to sea, lost forever more
Find love, strangest of things
But chaos inside, peace that it brings

(oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, watch me slowly fall apart
You've gotta give up the things you love to make it better
Been holding on, but all I'm holding on is hurt
You've gotta give up the things you love to make it better

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.
