32 Lines Lyrics

I want your hand across my belly
I want your breasts upon my back
I want your pain to rip right through me
I am your death
You are my wrath

I’ll take your hand beyond the threshold
I’ll take your gifts as art of fact
I’ll take your tongue right down to my throat
You are my loss
I am your map

I find your eyes, they give me shelter
I find your lips, they give me peace
I find your need to take me over

Open my heart, I’ll tell you stories
Open my legs, I’ll read your mind
Open my mail, I’ll tell you’re forty
You are my fate
I’m your design

I’ll lead you o’er the city burning
I’ll lead you home to Provincetown
I’ll lead you down the soft dunes yearning
You’re my vision
I am your sound

I long to be your handsome woman
I long to feel the crease of time
I long to free Medusa’s stallion
I’m your water and you are mine

I need to carve your face in pavement
I need to die in your embrace
I need to keep a grave engagement
You’re my power
I’m your disgrace

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.
