First Instant Last Report Lyrics

first instant
last report
you threw that all away
to think of futures in the same phrase
we took that away
above the floore
above the floor
i've been down before
to show my face
keep my head straight
i wave my goodbyes
cause everyone's got broken promise
this plan we impovise
above the floor
above the floor
i've been down before
i'm above the floor
i'm ablove the floor
i've been down before
la, la, la, la, la
first instant
last report
we threw that all away

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.

I love it.

Treble & Tremble is an amazing album. I love that it's pretty much dedicated to Elliott Smith.
