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.

This song is almost a sad follow-up to "If There's Love." It's like things are falling apart, and despite the futility, Greenwater is still making a plea for someone to listen. Beautiful song.

I don't think this song is about things falling apart at all. In fact, I think it's about things that haven't started yet. The narrator loves someone and knows that that person loves them back as well. They're trying to show them that you can't hide or deny your feelings, you just have to take the plunge. I gather from it that he's basically saying: look, we both love each other(these feelings don't happen by myself/yourself), we can't live without each other(breathing don't happen by myself/yourself), so let's be together(we could love, we can love).
