I Left Town Lyrics

so i left town at 1:30 in the morning to see you and i drove through the rain and through the snow. the snow disappeared and everything cleared and things then grew dark all around me. and although i was tired, i stayed pretty calm 'cause i knew that soon i would be in your arms. so i left town at 1:30 in the morning to see you and i drove through the snow and through the sleet. and the sleet disappeared and everything cleared and the wind then blew strong all around me. and although i felt crazy, i stayed pretty calm 'cause i knew that soon i would be in your arms. and although i was so tired, i stayed pretty calm 'cause i knew that soon i would be sleeping in your arms.
so i left town at 1:30 in the morning to see you and i drove and i sang all the way. and i could've stayed back there in any other bed but i needed to come and be near you. and although i felt crazy, i stayed pretty calm 'cause i knew that soon i would be in your arms. and although i was tired, i stayed pretty calm 'cause i knew that soon i would be in your arms.

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 thought this song had a remarkable lack of meaning to me... It was a pretty song and I thought I'd missed an important line when listening to it the first time....

... but nothing. Maybe I'm more used to other bands who combine lyrical ethereality with actual meaning/story... but this just seemed to go nowhere.

Shame really, because it's a nice song to listen to. Just think it's unfortunately a bit... without.

Have I missed something?

this song is the definition of what it means to be in a long distance relationship. She is obviously leaving early in the morning because she has to drive a long distance to see him, but even though its a treacherous drive, its worth it because at the end of it she'll get to be with him
