When You're Away Lyrics

Something seems to change
When I know you’re by my side
I start to feel a rain
And it pours until I feel alive
Record these notes
Make no mistakes
Cause some days
I’ve come to find
No words to say when you’re away
When you’re away
So listen to the sound my heart makes
When you’re away
When you’re away
I miss you everyday
Even more with every phone call home
I’ve tried to speak your name
But it never even feels the same
So I look around and sing my songs
Cause some days...
I’ve come to find
No words to say when you’re away
When you’re away
So listen to the sound my heart makes
When you’re away
When you’re away
I’ve come to find
No words to say when you’re away
When you’re away
So listen to the sound my heart makes
When you’re away
When you’re away

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.
