Nothing Ever Happens Lyrics

Standing on the station looking down the line
There's only one train every forty-five minutes
And you're the only one there
Except the man who sells the tickets
He can hardly speak English
And you stand on your own
You wish you were home
But you don't really care
And you know
Nothing ever happens
Nothing ever changes
And nothing goes right
Can't stand to be alone on a Saturday night
And you know
It's a cold hard feeling
And you spent all your money
And have nothing to show
And you wish you were home
But the meter keeps running
And you know
Nothing ever happens here

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.
