All Else Lyrics

Nothing is making sense anymore
We all come rushing right through the door
Taking everything we can
Hoping it will save us somehow

You can cross your finger a number of times
The roll painted lady
Will cover the lines you've crossed
Your whole life seems lost

One year older
And you long to hold the sky
You're so certain
It's not your time

One thing is certain we do what we can
We're fighting for something we don't understand
Someone had to do it
So you lead the way

Crawl back over
Piece by piece
Step by step
You surprise me
You surprise me

Now I
Now I
Now I
Now I

I've seen it all
I've seen it all
I've seen it all
I've seen it all

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 had a bit of trouble with this song. "The roll painted lady" cannot be right, but I couldn't make it out. Anybody have other suggestions?
