got carried away Lyrics

wait 'til i get over this phase
a weakness hard to break
is that i knock on an early grave?
i've gone wrong way to be saved

hey do you like the way that i've strayed?
the two of us couldn't stay the same
but i get the message through the haze
it's not too late to change

you told me, "go easy"
but i got carried away

you told me, "hey, it doesn't matter
hey, we'll work it out
we take care of one another"

light a way
light the way

some folks they just got to get high
and ours is not to reason why
do you like the way that i've strayed
from every promise i've ever made"

you told me, "go easy"
but i got carried away

you told me
"it doesn't matter. hey, i'm on your side.
i love you and i know that you'll do better next time."

[(i know i'm no better)
(i know i'm no better)
(i know i'll know better)
(i know i'll know better)]

hey, it doesn't matter
hey, we'll work it out
we'll start anew and try to do it better
hey, will you light the way?

you told me, "go easy"
got carried 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.

Song from the perspective of an addict who is in a relationship (possibly, with someone who is a recovered addict?). They just need that one more chance to get clean..

Anyway, its a evocative song that makes me sad every time I hear it. Genius.
