Linger Lyrics

It feels so warm when you are near
You are all I want to feel
Tell me now, is this for real?
It's hard to breathe...

We're all lost in travel time
Cannot find my peace of mind
When the sun will rise again, we'll fly away

Take the stair to the stars
Wander long, travel far
Someday

A summer breeze makes all of our winters freeze
Autumn leaves
There's no chance for spring's romance
We linger on but leave the past behind us
Old lovers live it all anew
But chances are so few

Windows open up to life
Put your worries all aside
Sacred silence closes doors for open eyes

Take the stairs to the stars
Wander long, travel far
Someday
Away

A summer breeze makes all of our winters freeze
Autumn leaves
There's no chance for spring's romance
We linger on but leave the past behind us
Old lovers live it all anew
But chances are so few
And choices are so true...

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.

Cover art for Linger lyrics by Epica

This song is so beautiful! I think it's about people who stil lfeel for one another but she knows it will never be the way it was before.

A summer breeze makes all of our winters freeze Autumn leaves There's no chance for spring's romance We linger on but leave the past behind us Old lovers live it all anew But chances are so few

yet the last line 'and chances are so true' says she may still wanna give it a try. Either way the melody of this song is pretty and simple. Kind of unusual for Epica but nevertheless, it's a lovely song. (:
