Blood Lyrics

I'd like to take my time
There's a good reason I must find
I want to put a few miles down
I'd like to feel my two feet on the ground

Another year's hard work done
I've paid for it with all of my blood
I've given you more than I'm worth
I want to dig my fingers into the earth

[Chorus]
Because I know there's beauty buried beneath
The surface of what we seek
All hopes left unfound
They lie between the wish and the well

The sun is just rising up
Mother birds feeding their young
The light of a brand new day
I think we've finally found a home in this place

[Chorus]
Now I know there's beauty buried beneath
The surface of what we seek
All hopes left unfound
They lie between the wish and the well

I know there's beauty buried beneath
(buried)
There's beauty buried beneath
(buried)
I know there's beauty buried beneath
(buried)
There's beauty buried beneath
I know there's beauty buried beneath
(buried)
(There's beauty buried beneath)

[Chorus]
Now I know there's beauty buried beneath
The surface of what we seek
All hopes left unfound
They lie between the wish and the well

Hello, I'm In Delaware

I'd like to take my time
There's a good reason I must find
I want to put a few miles down
I'd like to feel my two feet on the ground

Another year's hard work done
I've paid for it with all of my blood
I've given you more than I'm worth
I want to dig my fingers into the earth

[Chorus]
Because I know there's beauty buried beneath
The surface of what we seek
All hopes left unfound
They lie between the wish and the well

The sun is just rising up
Mother birds feeding their young
The light of a brand new day
I think we've finally found a home in this place

[Chorus]
Now I know there's beauty buried beneath
The surface of what we seek
All hopes left unfound
They lie between the wish and the well

I know there's beauty buried beneath
(buried)
There's beauty buried beneath
(buried)
I know there's beauty buried beneath
(buried)
There's beauty buried beneath
I know there's beauty buried beneath
(buried)
(There's beauty buried beneath)

[Chorus]
Now I know there's beauty buried beneath
The surface of what we seek
All hopes left unfound
They lie between the wish and the well

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.
