The World We Love So Much Lyrics

Come and walk with me
Through the world we love so much
And we'll kill all the beautiful things
We're not allowed to touch
We could fall in love
Then hate, 'cause love never lasts
And we'll dance on the graves of our enemies
Won't that be a blast?

But oh, I'm ending my life with you
'Cause you're sharp as a knife
We're lost in the forest like Hansel and Gretel
To burn

Come walk with me
Through the world we love so much
And we'll kill all the beautiful things
We're not allowed to touch, yeah
We'll fall in love
Then hate
'Cause love stuff never lasts
We could dance on the graves of our enemies
Won't that be a blast?

Blast, blast
Boom, baby, kaboom!

But oh, I'm ending my life with you
'Cause you're sharp as a knife
We're lost in the forest like Hansel and Gretel
Don't mind that sticky stuff
I don't care what's runnin' down your chest

Come walk with me
Through the world we love so much
And we'll love the beautiful things
We're now allowed to touch...

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.

This is probably the best song on the album. Anyone else agree? I love the way he sings it.
