One in the Same Lyrics

On the way back home...
How long did it seem?
Three days or four?
Snow glazed all the trees
My mother held me...
Like a motorcycle, so warm...
We sang melody...
Campin' out all night...
Slow moves in the light...
Of all the things that you've seen...
Was the motorcycle so warm you sang melody?
At that moment I'd know...
Just how close we could be
And though it always was mine...
It always seemed new to me
Ten thousand colors in all...
Eyes like caves on my cheeks
To all the people I've loved...
Don't think poor of me
It wasn't till I woke up...
That I could hold down a joke
Or a job or a dream
But then all three are one in the same
And all then are one in the same
We all then are one in the same

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 a song and ending to this spectacular album. The Harmony this band has on tracks like this, rollin back, etc. is very euphoric. The Lyrics jim writes are even better! lol

I think this is the most beautiful song by My Morning Jacket. I saw Jim James perform it with Conor Oberst and M. Ward. It was excellent.

I LOVE IT "It wasn't till I woke up...". Telling a good joke, keeping a job, and realizing a dream..all important but equally only as important as the person telling, holding, or realizing them.
