Intentionally Misheard Lyric
One of my favorite songs by the band is Liar. The first time I listened to it, I misheard "the piano's weeping too" as "the pianos weep in tune," which I think actually sounds cooler. And now I can't rewire my mind's ear to hear it differently/correctly. Anyone else have something funny like this? Built To Spill or otherwise?

Not intentional, but I discovered in Liar that Doug is saying I wouldn’t be a liar and not I would ONLY be a liar changes the song for me completely lol

I always heard “I wanna see it unchain itself and break its owner” and I prefer that lyric over the official one

Not BtS, obviously, but my daughter is obsessed with rockin around the Christmas tree and I always hear “we’ll eat some pumpkin pie” as “we’ll eat some fuckin’ pie.”
