Repeating Lyrics

Everyone's alike here now
when it was right I moved out
back from where I came
Life is a funny game
ending on a calling card
not even knowing where we are
I make a cowardly mistake
where are all the plans we made
here I go again to fall apart
so long
when we meet again I will not be there
beliving in a thing you see to disbelive
all the days that slipped away are repeating
aint you comin' along this time
I'll show you the things that were mine
I'm bleeding from the walls that cry
life has always passed me by
here I go again to fall apart
so long
when we meet again I will not be there
beliving in a thing you see to disbelive
all the days that slipped away are repeating

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.

Real pretty song.. Love how John puts alot of his gifted falsetto into this too...

Everyone's alike here now when it was right I moved out back from where I came

I guess he had a visit back with his family, and everything has changed.

all the days that slipped away are repeating He's having the same relationship with his parents when he was younger, it's starting to be a little bit healthier, I guess.

It's probably about his dad, which I heard they hadn't had a great relationship, and he was supposedly abused.

WTF, he had a great relationship with his Dad. He didn't even live with him after he was about 9/10. He also had a great relationship with his step-dad. He was not abused.
