Rhythm Song Lyrics

I'm tired of the lost so left alone
Surrounded by the souls I've thrown
Arriving just in time to see the earth destroyed, yeah
I said drag me there, or just take me home

See I don't mod rock
Someday or never
But I just keep rolling, rolling

Protected by the saints in all 50 states
American minds destined to be great
I'm from around here so I should know, yeah, I said yeah
I said drag me home or just, take me home

I said I'm waiting oh just say my darling
Rolling, rolling

I said yeah

I'm tired of the loss so left alone
Surrounded by the stones I've thrown
Arriving just in time to see the earth destroyed, yeah
I said drag me there, or just, just take me home

Cause I'm leaving
And I'm rolling, rolling

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 said I'm waiting oh just say my darling" I've just listened to this song once but it seemed to me that Julian said something else. And...is it me or does the main guitar riff look like The Velvet Underground's "Run run run"'s one ?

i think this song is about how the strokes plan to not sound like your conventional rock group. ppl always say te strokes are copycats of other bands, but to me the only bands they sound A LITTLE BIT LIKE are the velvet underground and television
