When It's on My Mind Lyrics

i still get nervous when you call me. i guess the reason's that i should be. they're all the silences and little hints and references to something on TV. i guess you try to be romantic, but all your answers are pragmatic. i hang the phone back on the cradle and i wonder what to say that i haven't yet. i'll decide when it's on my mind, when it's on my mind.
your words of wisdom in a snowstorm and all the drawbacks of the reborn. and then your talk of new experience and all the benefits of staying warm. you say there's poems on the front line. i guess i lost you on the back nine. i'm mixing metaphors with overtures and drowning out your memory in moonshine. i'll decide when it's on my mind, when it's on my mind.

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.
