Somebody Changed Lyrics

Back on the streets every day is the same, lord
Girls in the trees have the faces of angels
Somebody changed
It's like the year has another face
Smilin' all night long through the glass and the pine

You paint the nighttime blue
Lord and the daytime too
Lost in the night with you
I don't wanna wake
I don't wanna wake up

High on a dream, weary nights of the victory
Heading home kicking stones on the ride
Down in the lane I was so home till I saw your face
But it was just my mind playin' games with the light

You paint the nighttime blue
Lord and the daytime too
Lost in the night with you
I don't wanna wake
I don't wanna wake up

Back on the streets every day is the same, lord
Girls in the trees have the faces of angels

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.

My interpretation is that this guy is only happy at night, all by himself, in his cozy little house, when he's asleep, dreaming about this girl. I wanna say he's lost her but still can't stop thinking of her all the goshdarn effing time, especially in his dreams or as visions when he gets all excited thinking she's actually there but then realizes it's his imagination. Then all day long he goes through the motions of his life in a daze/in the zone, incomplete, thinking of her ("Heading home kicking stones on the ride"). I'm still trying to figure out the part about "the girls in the trees have the faces of angels." Maybe that's another indication of his loneliness -- he sees all these other girls around who are beautiful and it just reinforces his loneliness. This song is lovesick and a half. Best song ever.
