Childlike & Evergreen Lyrics

I seen the big sour apple
I've drank some sweet cherry wine
I've slept through too many appointments
With would-be friends of mine

I think I feel just like Ty Cobb
I'm always on the job
I just can't seem to relax
And that's not good

But if I had it
To do
All over again
I guess
I should have made more friends

Run through, run with me sister
Childlike and evergreen
When I get up in the morning
I'm gonna change everything

But if I had it
To do
All over again
I guess
I should have made more friends

I swam the salty seas
Childlike and evergreen
Childlike and evergreen

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.
