The Greater Times Lyrics

You say you don't know what love means anymore
Since I found you
I'm tearing down the walls without you
Ant I'm getting lost in all the plans that I heard you make
About the older times
About the greater times
Oh I don't know, I don't know anyway
Look up
Look up
I'll keep my eyes on you
Do you remember when you were a child then ?
And you laughed when you looked at the moon
There's no meaning anymore
We're floating in the sky
And if you think that we are older now
It's just our heads are butterflies
Are you the one that I've been waiting for ?
You say you don't know what love means anymore
Since I found you
I'm tearing down the walls, the walls, the walls...
Are you the one that I've been waiting for ?
Are you the one that I've been waiting for ?

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.

the singer knows how much greater everything was when everything was new (when they were little)

but he or she is smart enough to know that just because they have grown up doesn't mean the world is ugly

it feels like the singer is re-installing the sense of newborn joy in the boy/girl that he/she is also falling in love with

nunca crezcas
