Straight Ahead Lyrics

i've got questions for you
you've got answers untrue
i could walk these circles all night long
take a pill and sleep off
everything you can think of
walking all these circles to a song

could you play me something new

so take a minute just to breathe
and think of everything you wanted
and what you got instead
is it a labor just to see
around the left or right over my head
just straight ahead

find a new way to feel right
between this and a fist fight
i can read the circles 'round your eyes
this is life, this is no rhyme
find a beat, find the right time
to organize these circles to a song

could you play me something new

so take a minute just to breathe
and think of everything you wanted
and what you got instead
is it a labor just to see
around the left or right over my head
just straight ahead

so take a minute just to breathe
and think of everything you wanted
and what you got instead

so take a minute just to breathe
and think of everything you wanted
and what you got instead
is it a labor just to see
around the left or right over my head
just straight ahead

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.
