Tack Lyrics

Time for a new me
I hear they’re having a sale at Thrifty
I'm trading myself in
And I don’t care what I get for it
'Cause I finally burned out
Been kicking myself for way too long

Finally found out
What it feels like to be living a lie
Wasting my time, paralyzed
Wishing I was in another world
I'm taking a new tack
Gotta turn my back to turn back
I don’t wanna close doors
But I don’t wanna feel this way anymore
So I'm finding my way out
By turning away from a brick wall
Finally found out
What it feels like to be living a lie
Wasting my time, paralyzed
Wishing I was in another world
Somebody tell me what to do
I've wasted my last 15 years
Jumping through their hoops
Only to find nothing waiting for me
But academic oblivion – my proud destiny

See I finally burned out
Been kicking myself for way too long

Finally found out
What it feels like to be living a lie
Wasting my time, paralyzed
Wishing I was in another world

Wishing I was in another world…
(Somebody tell me what to do)
Wishing I was in another world…

Time for a new me

See I finally burned out
Been kicking myself for way too long

Wasting my time, paralyzed
Wishing I was in another world

Wishing I was in another world…
(Somebody tell me what to do)
Wishing I was in another world…

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.
