If You Stayed Over Lyrics

And if it's on it's on for good, yeah
'Cause when it's gone it's gone for good
Let me tell you

And if you stayed over you know we would
If we could
Put it back together make it good
If I...

If I breathe in the future, breathe out the past
Yeah
Savour this moment as long as it lasts
Let me tell you

Put it back
Piece by piece

If you stayed over I'd make it so sweet
I'll make you remember, baby
From your head to your feet...

And if you go now, then
You'll never know
How it could
Make it good
Make it good

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.

There's a lot I have to say about this song. When I first heard it I of course started relating the lyrics to a personal experience. And as much as this song has to do with romance, in my mind, it also relates to friendship. It seems that half the reason I'm drawn to a certain person is because of the tragedy they experienced, as I experienced a similar tragedy. Although I am romantically interested in them, I really want more out of the relationship than just sex. I want them to help me cope and I want to help them cope. I know they can do this for me.. and if they'd just give me a chance to show them I can, maybe my relationship with them would mean a bit more. . But at this point in my life i don't have much strength to put into a relationship, and I don't want to have to work for you to see this. We could really help each other. Anyone else interpret this song in a similar way?
