Impossible Lyrics

Don't listen too hard to the beating of your wings
Or you might fall
You only do what you do
'Cause a part of you believes
That you're here at all
But something reminds you
& some times I can hear it too

& I dont wanna be the rain
Falling on this impossible parade
As sure as I can be of anything
I will be so sure about this impossible thing

& I'm hiding out when the chameleon appears
She comes around
With a werewolf mood swing from a chandelier
& I hit the ground
To something reminds me
It's a full moon shivering

& I don't wanna be the rain
Falling on her impossible parade
As sure as I can believe in anything
I will bite my tongue & believe in impossible things
Yeah I will bite my tongue & believe in impossible things
Yeah I will bite my tongue

I saw the were-
I saw the full-
I saw the were-
I saw the full moon
I saw, I saw, I saw the full moon
I saw, I saw, I saw the were-wolf

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.

this song is really gorgeous, i just have a hard time deciphering what it's about. i think it is about the protagonist keeping something from this other person, so that their naiive, unrealistic ideals are not destroyed. it seems to me like the protagonist really wants to believe that this person's dreams can be realised, though.

the verses are very hard to figure out, although i love them. "mood-swinging from a chandelier". i love that wordplay. i think the girl may actually know that her 'parade' is 'impossible', but she's hiding that part of herself - 'something reminds you', 'a part of you believes', to not 'listen too hard to the beating of your wings'. i think that the line 'i hit the ground' may be related to the first line ('or you might fall') - the protagonist differs from the girl and 'listens too hard' to his own opinion of the girl's ideas.

the werewolf and chameleon analogies may hint at the girl or situation being very volatile - constantly changing form, 'mood swings'. mm.. tricky paul. i adore it though.
