Times Like This Lyrics

You're the song that's stuck in my head
I try to think of something else
It keeps coming back again
Says she wants to end it
I'll just keep pretending

And there you go
Turning up again

It's times like this I need a friend
I'll take a hit and hold you in
Can't live, can't breath, I'm underneath
It's times like this i need you
Here with me, with me

There's a stranger here in my bed
I try to think of sometng else
All I see is you instead
Says she wants to hang out
I'm just trying to break out

And there you go
Turning up again
It's times like this i need a friend
I'll take a hit and hold you in
Can't live, can't breath, I'm underneath
It's times like this I need you
Here with me, with me

And here I go
Turn it up again

It's time like this I need a friend
I'll take a hit and hold you in
Can't live, can't breath, I'm underneath
It's times like this I want you here
It's times like this I need you here
With me, with 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.

This song I think is about being best friends with a girl and then falling in love with her, but you don\'t want to pursue the relationship because if it doesn\'t work out you won\'t be friends anymore. Actually it may be more about after the failed relationship and losing the best friend you\'ll ever have in that girl. Oh well, I figure that because it reminds me of my girlfriend, we were friends 8 months before we told each other we loved each other, and I\'ve been a happy man ever since.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MANDY!!!!!!!!!
