FF Lyrics

When I grow up I will be a bigger kid
looking back I'll be proud of what I did.
Many times oh it seems we lose sight
for we are all still children deep inside.
As a child, life was cool
As a child, life was cool
As a child, oh man I'll tell you, I am free
As a child, oh man I'll tell you, I am me.
I want to runaway, to get up get out this town and sing
I say we make no plans
I want to unpack all your bags and we can live
I want to runaway
We could puff all day long
we could build stuff all day long
we could jump and dance and laugh and sing
and walk or runaway
I want to runaway
I want to runaway, to get up get out this town and sing
I say we make no plans
I want to unpack all your bags and we can live.

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.
