Tailspin Lyrics

Kapow! You blew my engine out
I'm falling to the ground alone and on fire
It's okay, I know you only meant well
Well, you always only mean well
I've gotta try to land this

You've come to watch me go down in a blaze of smoke
Tailspin, you're gonna lose all your friends
Tailspin, I don't want to die

When talkin' gets fuzzy on the blackbox
And my parachute straps fall off
I'm starting to think you planned this
And now I can see the lines in the street
And I'm going down in history
As some guy who never stood a chance

You've come to watch me go down in a blaze of smoke
Tailspin, you're gonna lose all your friends
Tailspin, I dont want to die alone
Tailspin, you're gonna lose all your friends
Tailspin, I dont want to die alone

Tailspin, you're gonna lose all your friends
Tailspin, I dont want to die alone
Tailspin, you're gonna lose all your friends
Tailspin, I dont want to die alone
Tailspin, you're gonna lose all your friends
Tailspin, I dont want to die alone
Tailspin, you're gonna lose all your friends
Tailspin, I dont want to die alone

It's okay, I know you only meant well
Well, you always only mean well
I've gotta try to land this

You've come to watch me go down in a blaze of smoke
Tailspin, you're gonna lose all your friends
Tailspin, I don't want to die

When talkin' gets fuzzy on the blackbox
And my parachute straps fall off
I'm starting to think you planned this
And now I can see the lines in the street
And I'm going down in history
As some guy who never stood a chance

You've come to watch me go down in a blaze of smoke
Tailspin, you're gonna lose all your friends
Tailspin, I dont want to die alone
Tailspin, you're gonna lose all your friends
Tailspin, I dont want to die alone

Tailspin, you're gonna lose all your friends
Tailspin, I dont want to die alone
Tailspin, you're gonna lose all your friends
Tailspin, I dont want to die alone
Tailspin, you're gonna lose all your friends
Tailspin, I dont want to die alone
Tailspin, you're gonna lose all your friends
Tailspin, I dont want to die alone

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.
