"I Decided Not To Do Them" Lyrics

It's cold outside on the porch
In the silence of the snow
My lone voice asks way too loud
Where did everybody go?

I remember when this place felt like home
I didn't worry about singing these songs alone
Don't explain why you left, you know I know you know
You know I know

Things aren't the way they used to be
Why would they be, how could they be?

This house is falling apart. and I've got nowhere to go
The TV's on way too loud and my bike's covered in snow
Sometimes I feel like I don't have a home
I never want to sing these songs alone
So let's go out and find something all our own

Things aren't the way they used to be
Why would they be, how could they be?
It's all gonna decay with every new day
And I'm so afraid

Everybody needs a place to call home
I know it's hard when we all feel so alone
Everybody needs a place to call home

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.

My lone voice asks way too loud Where did everybody go?

such a fuckin beautiful but completley upseting song,which everyone can empathise with to a certain degree.it's about feeling alone;remembering all the good times past and wanting them back,

it's proabably about a girl leaving him,or maybe a friend.still he's asking them back into his life,and explaining how-even though things may have gone wrong in the past,you can make up for them and make things better.

latterman are sooooo unappreciated,i can't believe this is the first comment
