Free To Pay Lyrics

Turn your head away from me and sigh
watch the window as it all flew by
as the earth pulls you toward it
I’m relying on you to take me around the corner
washing guilt from my sleeves
now I’m free to gamble with death
work all day to pay my rent
now I’m free to gamble with death
work all day to pay my rent
scratch the surface of something that came and went
sky turned black beneath a yellow moon
a pitched tent and a flashlight
lay on our backs on a cold desert night
I turned around and you were gone
you left holes under the surface
like rushing water in my stomach
now I’m free to gamble with death
work all day to pay my rent
now I’m free to gamble with death
work all day to pay my rent
scratch the surface or something that came and went
work all day to pay my rent
scratch the surface of something that came and went
I’m free, free to pay
I’m free, free to pay
I’m free, free to pay
I’m free, free to pay

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.
