Free to Stay Lyrics

I wanted to get away
But you came I know you wanna
Try to get away
But you were on my tail the whole way home
So I was left alone
But you never came
So I thought I could get away
But I was wrong
I know I'm never right

One day I thought I could
But I never before
Tried to get away the time was on my mind
Try to find a way to see
The heart is designed from nothing I've been till now.
I want you

Tried to get away the time was on my mind
Try to find a way to see
The heart is designed from nothing I've been till now.
I'm up to no good
Ooh, I'm trying my hardest
Today, pretty soon it'll be tomorrow
But now with that day, hey
Well I tried to get the ribosome
And knowing that I couldn't ever get away
And you know, I never knew that you
Yeah yeah yeah, every day I'm on to you
But you won't try to think that I

Today, pretty soon it'll be tomorrow
But now it's that day
Hey hey hey

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.

is she really singing "i tried to get the ribosome"?? i mean, it sounds EXACTLY like that but i've always just thought it was my nerdy biochemist mind playing tricks on me. i was surprised to find the lyrics transcribed like that here - that line doesn't fit at all in the song. SOMEONE EXPLAIN. thanks
