Backslider Lyrics

i can't tell you what i want and i can't tell you what i need
i can't stand the way we live and yesterday i slid again, yeah
i can't touch what i desire and i can't reach to get up higher
and i can't be the way i've been but every day i slip again

and i can't stand
i slide my back down the wall
can't stand
i slide... and i fall

i can't tell you what i want and i can't tell you what i need
i can't even sell myself another plan that won't succeed, yeah

and i can't stand
i slide my back down the wall
can't stand
i slide... and i fall

sometimes i slip
sometimes i slip
sometimes i slip
sometimes i slip

and i fell
long way down
night is coming
and i'm alone again...

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.
