Walking in Place Lyrics

Walking in place,
with the smoke out of our face,
and then we see you.

Hellos and goodbyes,
the door still shuts in our eyes,
and we still leave you.

And all that is hoped for
is after this while girl,
i hope that you smile,
while you're singing.
After your smiles gone
and after that time girl,
lord after this while, you're singing.

Turn to your friends,
and then we'll ask you again,
if it was alright.
Round some other bend
to some other end to some other,
or some other night.

And all that is hoped for
is after this while girl,
i hope that you smile,
while you're singing.
After your smiles gone
and after that time girl,
lord after this while, you're singing.

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.

I cannot truly attest to the meaning of this song, but it never fails to bring memories of a certain friend of mine. She has been my favorite human being for a while now, but she's too caught up in what she is used to to really give me a chance. There is a lengthy, complex story behind it, but I won't get into it. This just makes me think: "I don't care what she thinks of me, I just hope that, no matter what, she can enjoy herself and is fulfilled in whatever she does." Whatever happens, I hope that you smile while you are singing.
