Starburned and Unkissed Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wake up
Distorted to the bone
Salt on demand
Say you miss it
But, oh, I know you don't
How many plans with
Girls with makeup

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, you Casanova
Hey, you supernova

[Chorus]
Come home
The kettle's whistling
My heart's a ghost limb reaching
Starburned and unkissed

[Verse 2]
Deep fried
This isn't how to be
Naked of charms
In your long sleeve
A bitter little seed
In digital sand and
Then you wake up

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, you Casanova
Hey, you supernova

[Chorus]
Come home
The kettle's whistling
My heart's a ghost limb reaching
Starburned and unkissed
Come home
The kettle's whistling
My heart's a ghost limb reaching
Starburned and unkissed

[Bridge]
Tried to kiss the glass, it tastes like cold
Just know that I adore you
Baby, say the word when you get bored
'Til then, I'm waiting for you

[Outro]
(Come home)
My heart's a ghost limb reaching
Reaching, reaching, reaching, reaching
Starburned and unk—

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.
