1776 Lyrics

I'm all washed up at twenty and it's all my fault
If love's an illness then I hope I get it
I got it wrong, I got it wrong, I got it wrong
I spend the rest of my life trying to make it right
Somewhere there's a fight
We are fighting for something we lost
Something that we find
Might save us or make things right

I hope I get the chance to finish what I started
I've always felt like it might be too far
I hope I'm wrong, I hope I'm wrong, I hope I'm wrong
I'm holding on, I'm holding out for something more

Somewhere there's a fight
We are fighting for something we lost
Something that we find
Might save us or make things right
Somewhere there's a fight
We are fighting for something we lost

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.

No comments? Really? :/

This song is amazing. To me it's about regrets and trying to make up for what you regret.
