Hope Lyrics

Ain't no sunshine
Gonna take away this rain
Ain't no sunshine
Gonna take away this rain

I should have known you were
Gonna drift away

Ain't no sunshine
Ever gonna take this rain away

All I have's this hard drive
With no space left for a day
See how it becomes something
That we just put away
With this restlessness you can't sustain
And I guess you haven't seen enough
To make you wanna stay

Ain't no sunshine
Gonna take away this rain
Ain't no sunshine
Gonna take away this rain

You're going away now
But I'm not giving up
You're seventeen miles away
But I'm not giving up

Ain't no sunshine
Ever gonna take this rain away
Ain't no sunshine
Gonna take away this rain

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.

obviously a failed relationship, however, the guy wont give up on it. Not for nothing in the world.

Two people who were in love, but for whatever reasons she left. And left him alone and broken. 'All I have's this hard drive With no space left for a day' All he had left was his memories of being with the girl that he loved. Hes depressed about the situation, about not being together when he feels they belong together, he believed they are supposed to be together, and still does believe. And theres not a single thing that will make him accept it or make him stop trying. The distance, what shes said nothing, will make him give up on her, on love. He wont give up and never will

It's kind of based on the true story of Blake Hazard and John Dragonetti (The Submarines) who moved to LA, and broke up. They both wrote a bunch of songs, working out the pain of the split. Months later they got back together and realized that they both had all of these songs, many of which ended up on their first two albums.
