The Rest of My Life Lyrics

First day of the rest of my life, i never wanted it to go.
a blank stare from a positive mind is all i want you to know.
passed down by the hands of wise and what they showed me is broke.
kicked out by the brut of the bunch i never wanted a show.
passed out from the misuse of the sunlight.
with out a mechanical device.
anymore comfort rolls in a pack of twenty with all their hands to protect you from the ghouls and the bears and the uncomfortable stares that will illegally taunt you.
first day of the rest of my life i never wanted to go
a blank stare from a positive mind is all i wanted to know.
brought up by the love of my life through never knwing is shows
in no time i'll be counting the lines betwee my sickness and gold
all my life i waited for days that wait for days that wait forever.
all this waiting never got me paid
but i don't want money because it gets you faster

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.
