I Need You Around Lyrics

the sun has blessed, the rays are gone
and all the kids have left their tears and gone home
sweet 17, sour 29
and i can't explain myself what i hope to find
you're all so kind without her here

baby i need you around
baby i need you around
maybe i need you
maybe i need you all right now
baby i need you around

i had no luck
i had no shame
i had no cause, just 17 days of rain
and you in my eyes

just one more song to slay this earth
and i can't explain myself just what it's worth
it's all i had, but not all i need
and i can't escape the fact that i still bleed
it's all too steep without her here

baby i need you around
baby i need you around
baby i need you around

i had no voice
i had no drive
i had no choice
i had no crime
i had myself
i had my band
i had my love
i had no hand in watching it all fall apart

baby i need you around
baby i need you around
maybe i need you
maybe i need you all right now
baby you need me around

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.
