What Do You Think? Lyrics

I need a night off but I'll take all year, will you take any message?
I need a night off, I can't stay here, I'm sure to find a way out of this.
I need a night off just read my lips, are you getting the message?
I'm sick as a dog but I'll just say this, you're as sick as I am.
So what do you think about me? What do you think about me?

Everyone around me is driving me mad, here I go along this road.
Feeling I don't want to slow down, these days of obsession.
I need a night off because life's too dear, let me show you my photographs.
See me work, see me rest, see me play, oh, I'm sure I had it better back then. So what do you think about me?
I couldn't live without me but everything about me is driving me mad.

Here I go along this road, feeling I don't want to slow,
run so hard, I lose my breath, one thing I don't want to know now.
These days of obsession, delirious and uncertain still and will they always stay uncertain still?

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.

Cover art for What Do You Think? lyrics by Sundays, The

Wondering if this song is about being exhausted from touring, being interviewed, idolised, scrutinized and all the stress and craziness that may come with being an artist and having to promote your work. I read about somewhere that The Sundays had to cut short one of their tours because they were exhausted. I'm just not sure which tour it was.
