Since Always Lyrics

Cold cold keep shaking
Sing sing keep sinking
Let the cars keep swerving
Let the songs keep skipping
Crush crush keep kissing
Shoot shoot keep missing
I used to compare myself but I don't care anymore
I never had it, you never had it
We were young and the sun didn't shine on us
Where is the life you thought you'd live?
Where is the love you thought you'd give?
Sipping on sympathy, feeding on tragedy
This is our therapy for open heart surgery
I'll never have it, you'll never have it-
We were young and the rains came down on us
We're humming 'Reveille' just slightly out of key
(Our love is real to me)
In Sunday's best singing free of things we'd like to be
And left over puddles we'd run ourselves quietly
This is our therapy, this is for you and me
Our love is real to me

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.
