So far Lyrics

Like the touch of my mother's hand on my head
i'll miss you, too. when i go to bed
we've ruined all the new pots
and the metal in the egg crate cots
but we haven't missed a good day of television yet so far
but we haven't missed a good day of television yet so far

The dishwasher's on now
cleaning somehow
the baby bits of hamburger helper that dried too soon
we leave out the milk and it rots
and the mayonnaise that we get from Tops
but we haven't missed a day of eating good food yet so far
but we haven't missed a day of eating good food yet so far

You love good
but i think you should
go home, honey
cuz we haven't got any money

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.

wow, i'm surprised there haven't been any replies to this song. it's absolutely beautiful. "you love good but i think you should go home, honey, cause we haven't got any money." brilliant. maybe it's his voice, but something about that line and this song just hits me in a way his other songs don't.

This is my favorite song he has done thus far. I relate to it very well. Haha, sadly.

I think this song is about childhood memories. Messing around with his siblings. Leaving out milk, watching TV, getting in trouble, having a financially poor but a decent life. The only deviation is when it suddenly switches themes in saying "You love good, but i think you should go home, honey cuz we haven't got any money." Here he is telling someone to leave. It is about someone living in the past, and refusing help, because of shame. He can't let anyone in, even to this day.
