I'm Afraid Of Everything Lyrics

turn the keys i spin the
wheels if you know how a
person feels you wouldn't
make this so hard for me
i'm afraid of everything i
wish you had something
more to say behind the
wheel i can't stay awake
pass your house and take
a coffee break adult
desserts for baby cakes
blame me baby i'm afraid
of everything there's
something wrong with the
boy's head don't believe
what the doctor said i'm
sure one day he'll come
around but he's so quiet
now and when all this talk
is over about how i never
spoke then goodbye mr
good humor now i'm just
your joke you made me
can't you see i'm afraid of
everything and all the little
come-ons they were all just
run-ons and when i
think of your arms i forget
what street to turn on and
the door slam is such a
safe sound i know where
i am i put my keys down i
put my eyes down i wonder
why is it i lost my
courage and passed your
exit.

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.

Man, there are defiantly not enough comments on this one. This song is so sad. I think it explains itself. A boy that (I think) misses a girl is driving to her house and (it sounds like) hes circling the block. At the end he gives up and just goes home. He really misses that girl.

Sigh. So pretty. Go Braid. One of their better songs here.
