Friend Lyrics

Playing out the day
We try to stop ourselves from getting swept away
I´m gonna let you step ahead
I´ll show you things,so you can pretend
but you don´t know what they meant
Let it all begin to swim
Let it all begin to swim
Let it all depend on something that hold us up again
but you don´t understand.
Let me make it plain
I´m not trying to use you for my own gain
I´ll ask you how to settle down
Get your kicks and hang around
We could do that to the end
Let it all begin to swim
Let it all begin to swim
Let it all depend on something that hold us up again
Just pretend.

I see what you demand.
I please you to understand,
coz´ I need you close again.
Then I´ll be where you want me to stand.

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.
