Can't See Me Lyrics

Down by the river side I waited there for you
Take you back in time
You’re in suspension, hey I caught you
You cannot hide, it’s all inside, easy
She knows you can’t see me

Yes Mr Miser, Mr, Mr Mystery she’s saying to me
Saying he can’t see you, he can’t free you, he can’t be you
He just wanna be you
He needs a dealer as a healer

I’ve seen that expression on your face
I could have sent you to that place
Expression can’t see me

Yes, I’m reminded of those days
Take you back in time, it’s all unite
Here comes a reason to my rhyme
The man used to fly, he used to fly easy
But know you can’t see me

I know mine, mine know me
I can sail upon your sea
I can sail upon your sea so easy she knows you can’t see me

I’ve seen that expression on your face
I could have sent you to that place
I know you can’t see me
I know you can’t see me

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 think this song is about John Squire and the general break up of the Stone Roses. Its kinda sarcastic at the bit where the lyrics go "I know mine, mine know me, I can sail upon your see, I can sail upon your sea so easy, she knows she cant see me".....if you listen to the vocal melody here, its exactly the same as Squires guitar solo in the B-side 'Ride On', which was on the Ten Story Love Song Single. Its blatantly taking the piss!!!

From Wiki

This track refers to an incident when Brown saw Squire in a village in Hale, not long after the split of the band. According to this story, Brown waved to Squire, but Squire hid behind a newspaper and would not acknowledge him
