White Out Lyrics

When I lay me down to sleep
I pray my soul to stay
Clear and away
From the hard hearted part
Into a better place

But I'll wait for you
Until this weight in you

It's a bitter tell
When the place you love and know so well
Does it make you long to slip your skin
And white out the feeling
You are strange

My life it changed from green to red
When from those lips you said
You've got a way and the hardest part
Is finding the strength to stay

But I'll wait for you
Until this weight in you

It's a bitter tell
When the place you love and know so well
Does it make you long to slip your skin
And white out the feeling
You are strange

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 that nobody has commented on this song yet... I really love this song. I love the guitar and the drum beats - they go together really well in this song with his voice. It sounds like he's in love with somebody but it seems like she's pushing him away because there are things that she doesn't like about him by saying "You've got a way" which I take to mean that he does things a certain way that she doesn't like. He feels strange and wants to "white out" that feeling, he wants to "slip his skin" into something that she'll accept. He loves her so much that he says "I'll wait for you" and will put his life on hold "green to red" until she comes back... just my take
