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 is exactly how I feel when I return to school after the end of term holidays and I get to see my best freind again. I hadnt seen him for two whole weeks, the whole time suffering because of his absence. I could barely last two weeks without him how the hell am I supposed to last the summer holidays??!!!! (they last six weeks where im from)
Anyway, this song describes exactly how I feel the first day back from the holidays. By the time we have to go home I dont want him to leave!
This song is awesome! It relates to so many people, right?
Powderfinger rulz!!!
This sounds like its describing getting someone back and not realizing how good it was to have them around until they were gone and never really getting to enjoy the moments while the other was there.
nah the guys sad until she comes back, then all his happiness comes creeping back. then as soon as he realises how happy he is with her back, its time for her to go again.
i think it describes every relationship that is seperated by distance, that one person who you think you could really make it work with, but if only they lived in the same place as you or you had the time to pursue it. anything where the one you love has to leave and you only have a short time with them. and youre only happy when yorue with them
To me, this song is about a relationship that the guy has a girlfriend and he cheated on her with some girl. That "some girl" makes him happy but yet his girlfriend is there. So when he sees that girl again he realizes how happy he is and how he knows they could be more and be the best of friends....but yet when he sees her after awhile he knnows that she will leave again*
definitely about a long distance relationship. he has a sense of longing for her whenever she is not there... its like time drags by counting down the weeks until they form mere days... He can only realise happiness when he doesnt have it... a case of u dont know what u got til its gone
i love this song soooo much it;s so amzing and so is the whole of the oddessey no 5 album, but this is defo about not knowing what you have until it's gone
