Would I...Bounce Back Lyrics

Picked it up, looked at it
Then pondered for a moment
Picked it up, looked at it
Then threw it as far as I could
It bounced back
Bounce back, bounce back, bounce back

Looked at it, picked it up
For a moment I pondered
Looked at it, picked it up
I couldn't get through to it then
I couldn't get through to it then
It bounced back
Bounce back
Bounce back
Bounce back
Bounce back
Bounce back
Bounce back

You always take offence so easily
You always take offence so easily
But my defence will overwhelm you
When it bounced back
Bounce back, bounce back, bounce back

Picked it up, looked at it
Then pondered for a moment
Picked it up, looked at it
Then threw it as far as I could
It bounced back
Bounce back, bounce back, bounce back

You always take offence so easily
You always take offence so easily
But my defence will overwhelm you
When it bounced back
Bounce back, bounce back, bounce back

If I threw myself from the ninth storey
Would I levitate back to three
Well would I?

If I threw myself from the ninth storey
Would I levitate back to three
Well would I?

If I threw myself from the ninth storey
Would I levitate back to three
Well would I?
Would I bounce back?
Would I bounce back?

Would I bounce back?

Picked it up, looked at it
Then pondered for a moment
Picked it up, looked at it
Then threw it as far as I could
It bounced back
Bounce back, bounce back, bounce back

Looked at it, picked it up
For a moment I pondered
Looked at it, picked it up
I couldn't get through to it then
I couldn't get through to it then
It bounced back
Bounce back
Bounce back
Bounce back
Bounce back

You always take offence so easily
You always take offence so easily
But my defence will overwhelm you
When it bounced back
Bounce back, bounce back, bounce back

Picked it up, looked at it
Then pondered for a moment
Picked it up, looked at it
Then threw it as far as I could
It bounced back
Bounce back, bounce back, bounce back

You always take offence so easily
You always take offence so easily
But my defence will overwhelm you
When it bounced back
Bounce back, bounce back, bounce back

If I threw myself from the ninth storey
Would I levitate back to three
Well would I?

If I threw myself from the ninth storey
Would I levitate back to three
Well would I?

If I threw myself from the ninth storey
Would I levitate back to three
Well would I?
Would I bounce back?

Would I bounce back?

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.
