Five Years Lyrics

Try and pretend
To remember when your scared you say
"Do you think that we could be these people who lose everything?"
And dont forget (pretend your scared)

I'm finally at the place I'm staying
I finally have a place to can call my own
I'm trying not to lose my reasons
I'm planning to remember all I know
You know if I lose my faith, it comes back
I hope he knows I tried

Try and pretend
To erase the past 5 years you missed
Now do you think that it would be the same
Would you make the same mistakes
Or would you learn from them and learn
That if it werent for you...

I'm finally at the place im staying
I finally have a place to call my own
I'm trying not to lose my reasons
I'm planning to remembering all I know
You know if I lose my fear, it comes back
I hope he knows I tried
Yeah I tried...
Yeah I tried...

Do you think that we could be the kind that take everything (for better or worse)
Aware of what we say
We know we make the same mistakes
The ones that really brought us here
Now don't you think that we would change
We always make the same mistakes
The ones that win
They run this way...

I'm finally at the place I'm staying
I finally have a place to call my own
I'm trying not to lose my reasons
I'm planning to remember all i know
You know if I lose my fear, it comes back
I hope he knows I tried
I tried...
I tried...
I tried...
I tried

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.
