Clover Lyrics

I can't imagine what you must think
I have more to say than what I'm willing to tell
I have ideas about the way things should be
I have a picture of you that you didn't give me

(chorus)
be careful
it's like taking steps back
be careful
you just might say something

it's getting to me how I waste my time
just like something I've got on my mind
I wanted something
something that would last forever
you wanted more than me
but who could blame you?

(chorus)

I had a dream that I wrote a song for you
and you just sat back and laughed
I can't sleep to save my life
I guess that's what I get for

(chorus)

sweet clover

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.

Again-great song writing. It makes me so mad that these guys broke up. So catchy and it actually makes sense.

I love this one. It reminds me of a quiet person, sitting there and quietly telling the world how great they are inside, even though no one's listening. Also it sounds like summer. :-)
