(It's a) Departure Lyrics

it's familiar
but not too familiar
but not too not familiar

it's a new craze

hey good girls
do you wanna just say?
hey I wanna

it's a departure

it's a new craze

hey good girls do you wanna just say
hey I wanna just say
hey I wanna

I like the old days
but not all the old days
only the good old days

it's a new craze

hey good girls do you wanna just say
hey I wanna just say
hey I wanna
hey good girls do you wanna just say
hey I wanna just say
hey I wanna just say

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.

I think this song says a lot, albeit with few lyrics. I think it's about how these days people will just do stuff because it's what everyone else does and not think for themselves.
