A Little Lost Lyrics

I'm a little lost
Without you
Well that could be an understatement
Now I hope that I have paid the cost
To let a day go by and not
Call on you

Cause I'm so busy, so busy
Thinking about kissing you
And now I want to do that
Without entertaining another thought

Out on the ocean flows
I'll have to pull myself together
Now it's harder I'm not on my turf
Just me and, me and those big old waves
Rolling in

Cause I'm so busy, so busy
Thinking about kissing you
And now I want to do that
Without entertaining another thought

It's all so unfinished
Following faith
A voice in me
is telling me to
Run away
I hope your feeling isn't diminished
I hope you need someone in your life
Someone like me

Cause I'm so busy, so busy
Thinking about kissing you
Now I want to do that
Without entertaining another thought

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 needs a comment. its so damn beautiful---the kalimba was a perfect choice of instrument...even thought its so unlike anything else he plays. i love how he holds that last "thought" way up in falsetto..it kills me. it reminds me of that moment of eye contact you have with someone you are in a relationship with when you are about to kiss. it is incredibly terrifying feeling something so strong and wondering if the other person reciprocates those thoughts and feeling. and how even though its a flicker of a second....that time frame seems to last forever. i think that this song IS the stream of consciousness at that moment. at least for me it seems quite parallel
