Getting In My Way Lyrics

my vision's clouded, the sun is dark i've lost my way, i've lost my mark chased by something in another way hoping to see the light or another day getting, getting, getting in my way broad horizons, but my skies are gray getting, getting, getting in my way don't know what it is, but it ain't gonna stay blind punches, invisible blows my patience shortens, my temper grows i'm taking over, i'm not myself i'm tired of the cards i'm being dealt pissed-off as i should i can't do all that i know i could the things i see have different shapes i can't remember what it takes

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.
