Down Lyrics

Backyard games
Were never the same
I couldn't keep my girl
But I kept your name

I crashed my car
But I'm still alive
Oh, you should've been around
To teach me to drive

Well, I don't know much about you
I'm trying to live without you

But I just keep on falling down
When you are not around
So down and lying on the ground
Is this is a disease?
Do you ever feel like me?

I saw a picture of you
And you had a guitar
So I learned how to play
But I don't want to be who you are

My mother cries alone in her room
Two times a year
In December and June

I don't know much about you
I'm trying to live without you

But I just keep on falling down
When you are not around
So down and lying on the ground
Is this is a disease?
Do you ever feel like me?

Well, I don't know much about you
I'm trying to live without you

But I just keep on falling down
You are not around
Down, lying on the ground

I'm down when you are not around
So down and lying on the ground
Is this is a disease?
Do you ever feel like me?

Gentlemen

Look Where We Are Now

A Million Years

Backyard games
Were never the same
I couldn't keep my girl
But I kept your name

I crashed my car
But I'm still alive
Oh, you should've been around
To teach me to drive

Well, I don't know much about you
I'm trying to live without you

But I just keep on falling down
When you are not around
So down and lying on the ground
Is this is a disease?
Do you ever feel like me?

I saw a picture of you
And you had a guitar
So I learned how to play
But I don't want to be who you are

My mother cries alone in her room
Two times a year
In December and June

I don't know much about you
I'm trying to live without you

But I just keep on falling down
When you are not around
So down and lying on the ground
Is this is a disease?
Do you ever feel like me?

Well, I don't know much about you
I'm trying to live without you

But I just keep on falling down
You are not around
Down, lying on the ground

I'm down when you are not around
So down and lying on the ground
Is this is a disease?
Do you ever feel like me?

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.

cant believe no one has commented on this one.. the meaning is pretty clear (or at least this is what i found), he's singing to his father basically complaining about him not being there for his family. u can get the sadness of missing him or wanting him to be there but at the same time all this anger and resentment cause he left the family("I dont want to be who you are" "Im trying to live without you").. if someone's ever been there, they'll understand exactly what this feeling is like.. great song
