Evidence Lyrics

I need a dream, I need a bigger dream
Tell me if you know what I mean
I wanna live, I wanna live in your camera
Take a picture of my heart with you

You could have
Evidence to know how I've been bad
Make me sad
Trying to find you in a world that's gone away

I wanna sing, I wanna sing on your radio
So you would know the way I feel
I wanna die, I wanna die on your TV show
And be reborn as something that's real

You could have
Evidence to know how I've been bad
Make me sad
Trying to find you in a world that's gone away
World that's gone away (x4)

Nobody son, I'm on the run under the gun
I'm not having any fun
What have I done, what have I done, what have I done
I don't even know what I've done.

You could have
Evidence to know how I've been bad
Make me sad
Trying to find you in a world that's gone away
World that's gone away (x8)

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.

What?! How could this have no comments?! This is the first Joseph Arthur song I ever heard! Okay so maybe I'm not presenting an interpretation, but this song is incredible! It's so infectious and loveable, it's the one song on Redemptions Son I would play everybody if I had the chance! (not that I wouldn't play other songs for select people but this one seems to have the most universal appeal. It hooked me!)
