Envy the Living Lyrics

Well it's friday night
What the fuck are we doing here?
If I didn't have this song stuck in my head
I'm sure my thoughts would be a little more clear
No excuses this time gonna keep it in drive
So don't fuss or fight
We're gonna live like our buried souls have been brought back to life

I know I've said it
At least a thousand times before
But please just keep your mouth shut
Let's live for once

Well the streetlights are inline
And they're not moving for anybody anywhere
So I guess we'll take our business elsewhere for now
And when they go out, we'll pour like rain through the streets
And light this town up like a goddamn miracle they'll wish they had
Never seen

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.

You're missing the rest of the song:

Well even though it's just you and me in this car I swear I can feel the eyes of the stars And their envy of us.

But you can't see them, they're tucked away in the clouds And we'll be there soon; So let's make this night worthwhile.

And I know you've said it At least a thousand times before But please just keep your mouth shut Let's live for once.

Let's live for once. Let's live for once.

Let's live for once. (envy the living...)
