Goddamn the Light Lyrics

Take me
You only want the one that leaves you shaking
Take me
You only want the one that makes you crazy

It's been
So long I forget how to say it
It's been
So long I forgot I was waiting

My God the sun
My God the sin
My God the sun
Where have you been?

Take me
You only want the one that leaves you shaking
Take me
You only want the one that makes you crazy

It's been
So long I forgot I was waiting

My God the sun
My God the sin
My God the sun
Where have you been?

My God, oh my
Goddamn the sea
Eyes so deep you never see

Take me
You only want the one that leaves you shaking
Take me
You only want the one that makes you crazy

It's been
So long I forgot I was waiting

My God the sun
My God the sin
My God the sun
Where have you been?

My God the light
Goddamn the sea
Eyes so deep you'd never see

And it's been so long I forgot I was waiting
Now told, my mind is blown
Carry me, carry me, carry me home
Carry me, carry me, carry me home
Carry me, carry me, carry me through
Eyes so deep you'd never see through
Carry me away
Now strong
My mind is gone

And it's been so long I forgot I was waiting

Returning to the Fold

Take me
You only want the one that leaves you shaking
Take me
You only want the one that makes you crazy

It's been
So long I forget how to say it
It's been
So long I forgot I was waiting

My God the sun
My God the sin
My God the sun
Where have you been?

Take me
You only want the one that leaves you shaking
Take me
You only want the one that makes you crazy

It's been
So long I forgot I was waiting

My God the sun
My God the sin
My God the sun
Where have you been?

My God, oh my
Goddamn the sea
Eyes so deep you never see

Take me
You only want the one that leaves you shaking
Take me
You only want the one that makes you crazy

It's been
So long I forgot I was waiting

My God the sun
My God the sin
My God the sun
Where have you been?

My God the light
Goddamn the sea
Eyes so deep you'd never see

And it's been so long I forgot I was waiting
Now told, my mind is blown
Carry me, carry me, carry me home
Carry me, carry me, carry me home
Carry me, carry me, carry me through
Eyes so deep you'd never see through
Carry me away
Now strong
My mind is gone

And it's been so long I forgot I was waiting

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 like the fact that they use the 'eyes so deep you'd never see through' line in multiple songs.
