Wherever Lyrics

When you get back from wherever
Let me know what its like
And Ill tell you, Ill tell you
What its like to watch you go
You say, Hey, whats that mean
Make it sound so simple
And you say, Hey, whats that mean
Don't make it sound so simple
So don't even try
Cuz this is your day
Even the sky might go your way
You know Ill get by, just being okay
So good tonight, but this is your day
When you get back from, who cares
I really
When you get back from, wherever
You sure let me know

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.

Sounds like my ex-girlfriend. She went off to go find herself... "Wherever".

It sucked seeing her leave. But I can't help but say I would like her to tell me when she gets back.

Great song, Jeff.
