Some Distant Memory Lyrics

I don't know
If we could get lost in a city this size if we wanted to
And I don't know
If I could survive without seeing you
And every time I see your face
I feel out of place
It's so easy, why are you leaving?
Is it just because I've grown afraid of you?
I wish we were at the beginning
It would be so good to be with you
See that girl? She's over there
I don't need her, she don't care
I could be one in a million
It would be so good to start again

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.

One of my favorite Electronic songs, not sure why it wasn't selected for their greatest hits. I also wish they added another stanza towards the end of the song, it feels a bit short without it.

The ending of this song puts me in a place I never want to leave. It's their top song by far.
