Granted Lyrics

I wanted more
But more I could not find
I closed the door
On what was on my mind

And I'm walking backwards through the field
Where I kicked it when I was young
And I dream of all that might have been
And of things I might have done

Everything I have I've wished for
Everything I have I've wished for

I crossed a line
A line that was not there
And I pushed envelopes
Even though I should not dare

And I'm falling face first for the ground
Like a star that falls from the sky
And it's funny how you can be so low
When you used to be so high

Everything I have I've wished for
Everything I have I've wished for
Everything I have I've wished for
Everything I have I've wished for

I wanted more
But more I could not find
I closed the door
On what was on my mind

And it's funny how your dreams can change
Just by living day to day
So I'll throw a wish into the air
Cause it might come true someday

Everything I have I've wished for
Everything I have I've wished for
Everything I have I've wished for
Everything I have I've wished for

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.
