Me First Lyrics

We'll leave this shit behind
Our moms, our dads, our lives
Leave them all back there
Leave it back without a care
Friends and familes too
Leave them back at home with you
Checking out of our home town
Gonna make it somehow

We'll leave this shit behind
Leave this shit behind
Leave this shit behind
Behind, behind, behind

Going to California
Money is one thing we don't have
Have to play shows along the way
Have to make it our way fast
Just the 5 of us crammed into the bus
Checking out of our home town
Gonna make it somehow

We'll leave this shit behind
Leave this shit behind
Leave this shit behind
Behind, behind, behind

Leave this shit behind
Leave this shit behind
Leave it all back there
Leave it back without a care
Friends and families too
Leave them back at home with you
Checking out of our home town
Gonna make it somehow

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.

ive never actually heard this song.. but it seems like its about a group of friends (hence the "just the 5 of us.." part) who are sick of everything and just want to run away, and california sounds like a perfect place
