Skywriters Lyrics

We heard you’re leaving
That’s so unfortunate
He’s feeling sorry for himself
We knew it would be
Only a short while
Till we started poisoning ourselves

Now nobody waits til they’re the first ones to see the sun
They want a reminder more than once
Oh oh oh…..

I’m out watching the skywriters finding futures for love
People to love
You’re out watching the sidewinders calling, shining at the past
They never last

And you just run run run away
And you just run run run

Now nobody waits til they’re the first ones to see the sun
They want a reminder more than once
Oh oh oh…..

I’m out watching the skywriters finding futures for love
People to love
You’re out watching the sidewinders calling, shining on your past
They never last

Then you just run run run away
Then you just run run run away
Then you just run run run away

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.

Um, Isn't it "I'm out watching the skywriters finding futures for the people below. You're out watching the sidewinders floating shiny and fast, they never last."?
