If I Try Lyrics

If I try
I may see your mind
But tonight
All that I can find is

A wish for shades of adopted grace
Things that remind me of better days
And I don't know
don't know why
I don't know why

And I don't know why
She's got me chasing paper
She's got me clutching pencils
She's got me writing letters

Letters that together
Make up her name
Making a word that won't leave my brain
Teaching me a lesson so
I don't go there again
I remember when

And I don't know why
She's got me chasing paper
And I wrack my mind
'Til it brings me temper

Oooh, oh
Oooh, oh
Oooh, oh

Maybe someday, I'll be with you girl
Someday, I'll try to be good
Maybe someday, I'll be with you girl

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.
