Detour Lyrics

This schedule of no plan
A warmth without a sure gain
How can it sound too cold
With all intent of the best console

This schedulel of no plan
A warmth without a sure gain
I stepped into it
Then you said
"You left me in ruins"
How can it sound too cold?
With all intent of the best console

And a new way
Around an old pain
A new way
Around an old pain
I made this sketch so dark
I made this sketch so hard

I'm waiting for the fade to begin
Please begin

You long forget
I wish it were easy
Its not
Too long forget
I wish it were easy
Its not
When you see...

There's no way
There's no way
Around an old pain
So I'll ask you to stay

Just walk past again

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.
