The City Lyrics

Walking through the city
Its the place where we lost ourselves
Walking through the city
I swear its where we lost ourselves

And if we talk and move and we've got something to prove
Than I dont want to do that today
If we talk and move than we've got something to lose
And I dont want to give that away

So take me there
To the place that you go
I've got nothing to say
And I'm willing to know
And I dont know what I'm missing
And I dont know what I'm leaving so

Shooting high in the city
I'm trying to turn off the lights
Waking up in the city
But getting there was even at night [?]

And if we talk and move and we've got something to prove
Than I dont want to do that today
If we talk and move than we've got something to lose
And I dont want to give that away

So take me there
To the place that you go
I've got nothing to say
And I'm willing to know
And I dont know what I'm missing
And I dont know what I'm leaving so

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.
