Climb Lyrics

Maybe I'm not as smart as I thought
As I come back down.
Entertain the sun,
Beg it to go on.
Don't leave me all alone down here
'Cause I don't have a doubt
That I am without
A way out of this.

And I climb
This wasted time
I've been in, been in,
And I find
I change my mind.
Again you win.

Can you take the ashes that I've burned
At your expense?
'Cause I can't tell you why
All the things that I
Haven't thought to ask you for.
I am at the end,
I cannot pretend
That everything's okay this time.

And I climb
This wasted time
I've been in, been in,
And I find
I change my mind.
Again you win.

I can't walk away from you,
I can't deny what you say is true,
I can't understand everything you do,
Still I can't walk away.

And I climb
This wasted time
I've been in, been in,
And I find
I change my mind.
Again you win.
When I climb...
When I climb...
When I climb...

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.

I really love the lines "entertain the sun, beg it to go on", it reminds me of times when I have felt like I was in a really bad [dark] spot in my life. It's a good song about struggle. The lyrics remind me of "Quasimodo".
