Medicine Lyrics

I want to dance another day
For all of us I never had what it takes
I want to swim another mile
I've got to know if this will be worth my while
I want to lie
I want to think
What a major f**king waste of my time
I'm glad I know you
And I don't know why I'm careful

I want to take another turn
I want to taste a little sweetness in life
And is it major is it minor
I don't know, I'm out of time I can't tell
I'm glad I know you
And I don't know why I'm careful

Hey I was so sick in school
Remember me
Man I was so sick at school
But I've got my medicine
I've got my medicine
I've got my medicine
I've got my medicine

Hey mister man when will we fall
Forget about all
Forget about all

I want to lie
I want to think
What a major f**king waste of my time
I'm glad I know you
I want to lie
I want to think
What a major f**king waste of my time
I'm glad I know you
And I don't know why I'm careful

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.

When it says: "I want a lie I want to think" the actual lyrics are: "What a liar What a thief" The lyrics are in the CD case's sleeve, which I have in front of me.

But yes, very very very much love this song :)
