Back To School Lyrics

You can go back
to your Ivory Tower
I can go back
to my favourite bar

Cause now I'm sure
that there's some lessons
that I'm never gonna learn

I don't need to learn how to survive
but you'll probly (sic) learn to recognize

Can you tell
Can you tell
Can you tell that I'm alive
Can you tell

I don't need to learn how to love
I forget that all of the others
I'm not sure
I don't remember which one that I thought you were
You said you'ld know me anywhere
I'm not that pure

So, can you tell
Can you tell us all apart
Can you tell
Can you tell us all apart

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.
