Sound the Alarm Lyrics

I dont know if I could last
When I couldnt rescue you
And I dont know if my best
Is enough for me anymore
Well I can take it as a test
And I will see when I console
And Id change it if I could
But somethings wrong
Oh its understood

And at times I miss you
And know that youll make it all to real
I wish it was fate
Sound the alarm
I know well make it right, al-right
I know this night
Alright, thats right

Well I dont know if I could turn
From every bridge that I have burned
To overcome a sense of loss
You gain so much
At such a cost
And at times I miss you
I know that youll make it all to real now
I wish it was fate
Sound the alarm
I know well make it right, alright
Know this night, alright

This time I miss you
I know that youll make it all to real
I wish it were fate
Sound the alarm
I know well make it right, alright
I know tonight youre alright
Right alright right alright
You know well be alright, tonight.

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.
