Like the Heart Goes Lyrics

Something's so inviting first thing in the morning
I'm as equally frightened by the end of the day
I got sand in my pockets
It kinda weighs me down
But I'm happy and holy and free
Smoke fills my belly, a drink in my lungs
Well I may not be an addict but I'm turning into one
I got a voice in my pocket
It kinda weighs me down
But I'm happy and homely and free
Happy and lonely and free
There's just one way that I need to be
I took what you said and I put it on its feet
If this is the day, just let it beat
Like the heart goes
Like the heart goes
Just because I'm sad don't mean that I'm unhappy
Because I'm a sinner don't mean I'm not a saint
So I stay under covers, longing for another
Until I'm happy and lonely and free
There's just one way that I need to be
I took what you said and I put it on its feet
If this is the day, just let it beat
Like the heart goes
Where do I count today?
I'm closing it down today
Today
Next day begins where the last one had ended
What do I do with a job that can't be done?
I put sand in my pockets
To kinda weigh me down
There's just one way that I need to be
I took what you said and I put it on its feet
If this is the day, just let it beat
Like the heart goes
Like the heart goes
Like the heart goes
Like the heart goes
Like the heart goes
Like the heart goes

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.
