I Decided to Fly Lyrics

I remember long ago
Blowing bubbles on the Lisburn Road
How then could I know
Well I was young before I was old

I remember on the bridge
In a place they said was privileged
Watching the boats go up and down
I was attached and detached from my terrible town

And I decided to fly
Oh I decided to try

I remember long ago
Lived in a house on Whitebeam Road
The summers came as they go
I spend my life carrying granite stone

My mother, father, brother, three
Another one and that made me
I cut my shin and looked up high
Something deep told me that I

I decided to fly
Oh I decided to try

I remember long ago
I grew up in the South Seas
The horizon so far away
Now it's become a part of me

I decided to fly
I decided to try
I decided to fly
You and I decided to try
I decided to fly
You and I decided to try

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.
