Every Heart in the Room Lyrics

The barflies chatter
They don't know any better
It doesn't matter
You're hanging on to a dream
To your own dream

They're laughing and talking
One or two are clapping
But nobody's walking
And you're hanging on to a dream
To your own dream

Let them do what they do
Say what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Every heart in the room
Will belong to you one day

Let them do what they do
Say what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Every heart in the room
Will belong to you one day

A beer glass shatters
The bar staff clatters
It doesn't matter
You're hanging on to a dream
To your sweet dream

You don't hurry, don't worry
They're going to know your story
It doesn't matter
You're hanging on to a dream
To your sweet dream

Let them do what they do
Say what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Every heart in the room
Will belong to you one day

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.
