A Lonely Chord Lyrics

I never thought it matter, never thought it mattered so much to me exactly where I put my feet. I was wrong. I drink a strong cup of coffee. A long time ago, I had a home. A corner where I could be alone. So goodbye my solid ground. I'm an engine, I won't break down. A lonely chord without a song, searching for an orchestration where I belong. Where will I hang up my raincoat when this day is over? Like a leaf without a tree, nothing to cover over me. I'm like a character from a story, I don't exist. I owe a lot to these kids who are (like) family. They've helped me out with their endless generosity

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 can't believe no one's commented on this. This song is absolutely amazing - It's about not knowing what you're doing but going forward anyway. I seem to recall reading an interview where the band said it was about being on tour, but I can't remember exactly. But either way, it's such a good song.

One of my favourites i do believe. :D I think this always gives me that feeling of hope & taking chances & has that kind of power to fuel your passion for something or finding something in your life...

Anyway, lovely. (: Like cupcakes & tea. Yorkshire gold tea & my little pony cupcakes that is.
