In the Calm Lyrics

In the calm, taking in stories
From your eyes for me to see
But everytime the wind pulls back my hair
I can hear your voice ring in the air:

"You can't win me back, win me back
Win me back, win me back"

But I believe in love I guess
And you believe in loneliness
And now my consolation prize
Took off with a bigger size

Around the street where I grew up
There lies the truth of who I was
But I sailed too far out to sea
Here is nothing left for me

When there's no home to call your own
Your thoughts are colder than a stone
I sailed too far out to sea
There is no-one left for 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.
