Philip Lyrics

for everything!
darling, darling i
couldn't understand science
couldn't understand science
couldn't understand science
darling, oh darling i
how come, how come you're so pretty?
how come, how come you're so pretty?
darling, oh darling i
couldn't understand science
couldn't understand science
couldn't understand science
darling, ever darling
science, couldn't understand science
darling, oh darling i
couldn't understand science
how come, how come you're so pretty?
how come, how come you're so pretty?
how come, tracing the edge of it
how come, that's how i remember it
do we need order goodbye,
do we need order, do we need order,
do we need order, do we need order,
do we need order, do we need order goodbye!
darling, ever darling
couldn't understand science
couldn't understand science
darling, ever darling
science
darling, couldn't understand science
darling, ever darling
couldn't understand science
do we need order goodbye,
do we need order, do we need order,
do we need order, do we need order,
do we need order, do we need order goodbye!

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.

like basically all life without buildings' songs, this is about some ditzy emotional girl falling in love with some very cold emotionless distant man who doesn't understand her. it's quite a good song topic!
