Lanes and Avenues Lyrics

The streets are getting shorter
We're only getting older
You've outgrown these lanes and avenues
They'll be behind you soon

I picked you up
In front of your place
Got your ticket
Packed a suitcase
Look me up sometime
Bet you won't even cross your mind
(It won't cross your mind)

'Cause I don't think
I don't think
I belong here
Anymore

The days have entered into you
Weeks and months before you know
It's four years later wondering
When we last sat alone
It must have been way back when
I could still call you my friend (hey friend)
It's ok - I'll be fine
Bet you this happens all the time
(It happens all the time)

'Cause I don't think
I don't think
I belong here
Anymore
I'm sorry
I know i don't
Belong here
Anymore

No no no
And I don't think
I don't think
I belong here
Anymore

No I don't think
I don't think
I belong here
Anymore
And I'm sorry
I know I don't
Belong here
Anymore
I don't think
I belong here
I don't think I
No I don't think I
Belong here
Anymore
I don't think
I belong here
I don't think
I belong here
I don't think
I belong here
Anymore

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 love this song! I saw them live in New Lenox, IL and they played it... I can't wait for their studio album! I'm very proud of the band.
