Anyone Out There Lyrics

I never found out what made you leave
And now the day's over, just an hour to go
I tried to phone last night, but you never answered
Just left me ringing on the line
Outside
Is there anyone out there?
Anyone else outside?
Oh, outside
Is there anyone out there?
Anyone else outside?
My face in the mirror shows a break in time
A crack in the ocean that does not align
I tried to sleep last night, but I caught your dreaming
About days we used to wonder away
Outside
Is there anyone out there?
Anyone else outside?
Oh, outside
Is there anyone out there?
Anyone else outside?
Look out of the window,
Maybe you can call by my name
Another night over, babe,
Another light comes on in vain
I tried to phone last night, but you never answered
Just left me ringing in the air
Is there anyone out there? (anyone out there) Oh...
Anyone out there? (anyone out there) Oh...
Anyone out there? (anyone out there) Oh...
Anyone out there? (anyone out there) Oh...
Anyone out there? (anyone out there)

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.
