Tortoise and the Hare Lyrics

There goes my faith, swinging by the cherry tree
I rest my eyes, I need some sleep
Slow wins the race, but I'm always rushing
Trying to escape, the monster I've bceome
Somedays I try, and others just pass on by
A mountain so high, that I must climb

So please know I waited for you
And please be by my side
I'll make a move if you swear to catch me
I look to the sky

You're calm in the storm, came without warning
A face in the crowd, that knows my name
Pages and shapes, and everyone's just watching me
But I am so blind, in a field of weeds

So please know I waited for you
And please be by my side
I'll make a move if you swear to catch me
I look to the sky

When I wait, always, wait...

So please know I waited for you
And please be by my side
I'll make a move if you swear to catch me
I look to the...
So please know I waited for you
And please be by my side
I'll make a move if you swear to catch me
I look to the sky

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 don't like this song as much as their other two albums...

It's alright though.
