If We Meet Today Lyrics

Do you know how ridiculous you sound
When you say you might be in love with me
Not cause I want you to
Not cause I want you to
I’ve got to stop coming around here
You never seem to know what’s best for me
At least not when I want you to
Not when I want you to
Not when I want you to
And if we meet today
Promise that you’ll stay awake
Long enough to hear me say let’s go to sleep
Let’s go to sleep
And do you know how scared I am
of the bottom dropping out
And you’re breaking through to me
Not cause I want you to
Not cause I want you to
You’re breaking through to me
Not cause I want you to

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.
