A Beautiful Green Lyrics

Wrong way on the wrong side of town
Your feet are so stuck to the ground
I’ve been known to sometimes get away
But you never leave

This is the way you are
Don’t change yourself for me
This is the way you are
Don’t change yourself for me
This is the way you are
Don’t change yourself for me

This air isn’t anywhere else
It makes me talk to myself
Tells me where to breathe and
Where to smoke
I might not leave

This is the way you are
Don’t change yourself for me
This is the way you are
Don’t change yourself for me
This is the way you are
Don’t change yourself for me
(Theres nothing wrong with that)
This is the way you are
(That’s just the way that you are)
Don’t change yourself for me

(That’s just the way that you are)
(That’s just the way that you are)

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.

Oh no, I feel like this song's greatness is being underestimated. The slick electronic drumming combined with the forceful acoustic drumming is just a beautiful combination. The beginning guitar part is just really clean which contributes to the electronic feel I think, whereas the undistorted guitar part as well as the background vocals give it a sense of distance. All this and the repetitiveness make it so easy just to sink in to; it may be my favorite song on the album.

Speaking of background vocals, I would also like to know what is being sung at 1:18l
