Tender as a Tomb Lyrics

With my heart in my throat
And the sun on my face
Lying here in your arms
I know this is the place
I would never try to explain how it felt when we kissed
Courting reason in dreams while my body resists

I know my logic can lose you
But I think that we could get used to

My footsteps over the concrete, blistering in June
My heart leaps over the concrete, oh, I live for you
Each footstep over the concrete, tender as a tomb
My heart leaps over the concrete, oh, I live for you

With my throat in my heart
And my face on the sun
In your arms, I will lay
'Til my dreaming is done
Buried under mountains of earth, on the crest of a wave
Courting reason in love is a terrible waste

I know my logic can lose you
But I think that we could get used to

My footsteps over the concrete, blistering in June
My heart leaps over the concrete, oh, I live for you
Each footstep over the concrete, tender as a tomb
My heart leaps over the concrete, oh, I live for you

Oh, I live for you
Oh, I live for you
Oh, I live for you
Oh, I live for you

Deep In The Woods

With my heart in my throat
And the sun on my face
Lying here in your arms
I know this is the place
I would never try to explain how it felt when we kissed
Courting reason in dreams while my body resists

I know my logic can lose you
But I think that we could get used to

My footsteps over the concrete, blistering in June
My heart leaps over the concrete, oh, I live for you
Each footstep over the concrete, tender as a tomb
My heart leaps over the concrete, oh, I live for you

With my throat in my heart
And my face on the sun
In your arms, I will lay
'Til my dreaming is done
Buried under mountains of earth, on the crest of a wave
Courting reason in love is a terrible waste

I know my logic can lose you
But I think that we could get used to

My footsteps over the concrete, blistering in June
My heart leaps over the concrete, oh, I live for you
Each footstep over the concrete, tender as a tomb
My heart leaps over the concrete, oh, I live for you

Oh, I live for you
Oh, I live for you
Oh, I live for you
Oh, I live for you

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.
