Break Away Lyrics

And this world is just atoms
Spinning slowly
Other people are shadows
Lost and lonely
But they're giving us rules to follow
And they're giving us lies to swallow

Let's break away tonight
There's a place where we can meet
Let's slip into the night
My car has got two seats
Let's break away tonight
You and me

And this world is an apple
Rotting slowly
Other people are cattle
Dying lonely
But they're giving us rules to follow
And they're giving us shit to swallow

Let's break away tonight
There's a place where we can meet
Let's slip into the night
The planet's at our feet
Let's break away tonight
You and me

And this world is an apple
Rotting slowly
Other people are cattle
Dying lonely

Let's break away tonight
There's a place where we can meet
Let's slip into the night
My car has got two seats
Let's break away tonight
You and me

Let's break away tonight
You and me

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.
