I Need Direction Lyrics

I used to feel fine
You were to be mine
I need direction
To take me to you

I've asked the sunshine
Shadowed the skyline
I need direction
To take me to you

I get brainwaves
I get visions
Slow reaction
Superstition

I need the ways and means to get through
I need an open heart to look to
Nobody sees the same way I do
I need direction to get through

Followed the ley lines
The faded out road signs
I need direction
To take me to you

I get spellbound
I get visions
Slow advances
Indecision

I need the ways and means to get through
I need an open heart to look to
Nobody sees the same way I do
I need direction to get through

Honest I'd feel fine
If you were to be mine
I need direction to take me to you

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.

Great opener on the album Howdy. About the hope we have to find that person who will take care of us.
