Take Cover Lyrics

Words in my mouth

Someone told me to say

They go unspoken

My mind gets in the way

I hold my tongue

Save my, save my soul

True to myself

And stay gold

Sometimes you gotta pull the plug

Somewhere a little place to crawl

Love me for who I am

It doesn't have to be this hard

for an ordinary man

I wanna take cover, take cover

From you, wake me when it's over

Take cover, I wanna take cover

From you

Sold all my dreams

Watched them all disappear

I've spilled my blood

No one seems to care

Sometimes you gotta pull the plug

Somewhere a little place to crawl

Love me for who I am

How low do I have to go to make you

Understand

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.
