Davey Crockett Lyrics

I'm afraid to close my eyes
Afraid to hear phones ringing just to realise
That the words on the other side might just break my heart
And we don't have the technology to fix something like this
These words on the other side will break my heart
I have been dreaming for years
About these imposters trying to pose like you
But such bright smiles, those eyes and hands like these are not easy to confuse
And believe me I've tried to replace everything I lose
But such bright smiles, those eyes and hands like these are not that easy to confuse
And believe me I've tried to replace everything I lose
We tried with words but words so easily fail
And now I can't find the strength to fight it or the courage to take to blow

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'm afraid to close my eyes Afraid to hear phones ringing just to realise The words on the other side Your first sigh might break my heart And we don't have the technology to fix something like this These words on the other side These words will break my heart And I have been dreaming for years About these imposters, they're trying to pose like you Since bright smiles and eyes and hands like these are not that easy to confuse And believe me when I've tried to replace the things I lose With bright smiles and eyes and hands like these I'm not that easy to confuse And believe me when I've tried to replace the things I lose with words so easily fail with words so easily fail

I think the above is more correct. I think it's about someone replacing someone they used to love, or someone that died.
