We Fall Lyrics

I saw you running through the fields
Your hair was a mess and your face was wet
Your body was trembling
The summer's heat made your clothes stick to your skin
I just didn't know where to begin
I feel like everything, it's all my fault
I just wanted you to know the truth
I'm tired of the silence
It seems all too common when things are standing still
I just can't describe what it feels like
To be on the outside looking in
So I'm searching for that song that will make me break down
And fall to my knees in the middle of this broken street
It's like life and death, they're married to each other
It's a partnership that can't be undone
I just wish there was something I could do for you
As we sit here, watching the ashes as they fall
And we fall
We fall

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.
