I Wanna Be There Lyrics

I wanna be there when you arrive
I wanna see her I'll shred her eyes
I wanna be here when you defy
I wanna see it with my own eyes
You know you can't leave me fraying
I don't know what I'd do with myself
On the day I see you coming
I don't know what I'll do with myself

I don't like your sense of fun
I'll be laughing, watch you run
I don't like your sense of fun
I'll be laughing, watch you run, run, run

I wanna be there
I wanna be there

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.

It sounds like she wants revenge from a former boyfriend.it seems that he hurted her and came back like everything is okay
