One Speed Gearbox Lyrics

Take a look at this face of mine.
Take a look at this mask.
What are you looking for?
Well, you may ask.
See, I’ve so many secrets.
I have so many spies.
Things I can’t live with no more, playing behind these eyes.

I need a station.
I need a break.
I need an oil-change.
I need something to help me along on my way.
I need something to keep me awake.

Just hit the road, I thought.
Just stab it and steer.
And so I kept riding, until I came here.
Well you know that you might be my last friend on earth.
And I have but one last request, for what it’s worth.

I need a station.
I need a break.
I need an oil-change.
I need something to help me along on my way.
I need something to keep me awake.

And if you remember me in a while, that’s enough.
And if you remember me and smile, that’s enough.

I need a station.
I need a break.
I need an oil-change.
I need something to help me along on my way.
I need something to keep me awake

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.
