On The Low Lyrics

On the light
On the low
All this time
I always
Have the light
On for you
But I know I'm a fool
Yes, I know

On the light
On the low
All this time
I always have the light on for you
But I know I'm a fool
Yes, I know (yes, I know)

(on the low...)
(ba ba ba...)

On the light
On the low
All this time
I always (I always)
Have the light (have the light)
On for you (on)

(on...)

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.

this song is about loving someone so much even if they dont feel the same and it bascially says that no matter what youll always love them and you realize that your a fool and doing that is not right but you cant help it because there always that slight possibilty ilghtning could strike

helplessness. and accepting that you will always have feelings for someone, despite that they have moved on and there's no point to keeping a light on for them anymore. it's like accepting a personal flaw, the way she sings it and the beat suggest that it's something she lives with and has come to terms that she will probably live with it forever and that makes her a fool but it's no different than any other habit or flaw that we form in the course of our lives--when we're used to something and things change sometimes we keep acting as if they never did.
