Drowning Horses Lyrics

i stood in the doorway staring blindly.
i knew you were going to be the death of me.
there's no medicine that could cure me right now.
i don't want you to see me this way.
air is growing colder.
days are getting heavier.
minutes turn to hours.
hours turn to days.
days turn to years.
how much time do i really have?
do i really care to know?
what if i could have changed?
would things be different?
no matter what you got you want it.
i was thrown was i deserve.
we were lonesome - time spent well

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.

i love these guys. Cory and Matt are amazing. how are there no comments?

DCS is amazing...AMroulette = <3 forever!

see you in a few months.

this band rocks socks!!! if ya'll know, post.

this song, to me, is about how the world comes to a stop when the love of your life leaves you. minutes turn to hours, hours turn to days, etc...

it, to me, is about how everything comes to a sudden halt and life becomes a process of living through horrible moments when love leaves you...

then again, i'll ask them in July...

come to the show if you're in Tucson...

I love this band, but I've never had the chance to see them. If you ever talk to them again, tell them to stop in St. Louis next time.
