World Don't Want Us Lyrics

No moonlight over this one lane road tonight, but I don't care at all. I could use a bed, there's a hotel up ahead, but I don't know how far. In the backseat the smell of vinyl and wet streets must have helped you get to sleep. Inside of me I got a thousand old dreams and not one of them came for free. I know the world don't want us here, and only the wind can dry these tears. This night's a tomb but you're a patient moon waiting to flame tonight. This world's a close call, all these deserts and waterfalls, and mountains lean against the sky; shine, shine, shine, shine with me...'cause I know the world don't want us here, and only the wind can dry these tears.

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.
