And She Waited Lyrics

So now
Won't make it today
You're on the highway
Taking the long way home
Slowly but surely
You're on your way now
You're on your way down
To your town
Won't make it today
Won't say you're sorry
Won't even call to say you're late
You missed the parade
You missed your birthday
Missed every single holiday
Forgot your way home
It's been too long now
Too much has changed now
It's been too many yesterdays
And she waited
By the front gate
With a smile on her face
And she waited
And she waited
Never made it
Again today
It's never okay
Another delay
Another disappointing day
I hope you're lonely
And empty handed
I hope you're stranded
You took the wrong way to her heart
And she waited
And she waited
As her smile fades away

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.

This song is really pretty. It deserves more... but that's about as depthful as I can get right now. I'm tired.
