Blackbir Lyrics

Hell in a bookbag
I hope I don't look bad
everythings' squared away.
How far did you go?
What was the Story?
everyone feels the same way
Order up is here
I'm so glad your leaving
You sped here and you'll speed Away
Woke in the morning and Told her I loved her.
Hello, Blackbird.
Goodbye
Goodbye, Bye-Bye
Class is in recess
I wonder what she says;
I'll sneak away when she looks away.
How far will I go?
And what was the story?
everyone says the same thing
Goodbye.

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 called "Blackbird" and this isn't a Graves song, it's a Gotham Road Song.
