Lions Lyrics

I've been getting so caught up in the way I was brought up
The things I do, the things I take
I've been trying and trying just to watch all these lions raging in and outside of me
Someday you'll say
I will be gone I will be gone
Someday you'll say
It won't be long

I would rather be nothing than be looked at as something
Through the eyes of these social royals
And if I had just one word to describe what my friends were
The last thing I would say would be loyal

Someday you'll say
I will be gone I will be gone
Someday you'll say
It won't be long
I just want to move on
I just want to belong
I just want to get along

My past is after me and I'm trying to break free from all these mess ups and bad memories
I just want to move on to a new place I belong to
New places and new faces to me

Someday you'll say
I will be gone I will be gone
Someday you'll say
It won't be long
I just want to move on
I just want to belong
I just want to get along

I just want to move on
I just want to belong
I just want to get along

Someday you'll say
I will be gone I will be gone
Someday you'll say
It won't be long
I just want to move on
I just want to belong
I just want to get along

I've been getting so caught up in the way I was brought up
The things I do, the things I take
I've been trying and trying just to watch all these lions raging in and outside of me
Someday you'll say
I will be gone I will be gone
Someday you'll say
It won't be long

I would rather be nothing than be looked at as something
Through the eyes of these social royals
And if I had just one word to describe what my friends were 
The last thing I would say would be loyal

Someday you'll say
I will be gone I will be gone
Someday you'll say
It won't be long
I just want to move on
I just want to belong
I just want to get along

My past is after me and I'm trying to break free from all these mess ups and bad memories
I just want to move on to a new place I belong to
New places and new faces to me

Someday you'll say 
I will be gone I will be gone
Someday you'll say
It won't be long
I just want to move on
I just want to belong
I just want to get along

I just want to move on
I just want to belong
I just want to get along

Someday you'll say 
I will be gone I will be gone
Someday you'll say
It won't be long
I just want to move on
I just want to belong
I just want to get along

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.

My sophomore year of high school, in a nutshell.

About loss, change, and seeking redemption from what you regret.
