Smooth and Dry Lyrics

I drove myself untired and ashamed for believing those smiles that always paved my way. with burning eyes that dawn I awoke to the clearest skies with eyes half closed. come pick me up...first, it's easy to see why stars start to fade so uneasily. I gave and stumbled, such endless stairs, but now I walk proud with open knees. I dressed in skins designed by better fools to parade in bones that fit like wooden teeth. with burning throat that night I awoke to familiar whispers of stories I had known. come pick me up... we were young maybe, but you're hiding in bedrooms, baby. fuck to rub the scars smooth and dry...come pick me up, 'cuz I want to believe again. untie these ropes from my feet, I'll stumble, but walk proud with open knees.

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.
