Faces Lyrics

I... I... I... I... you!
I... I... I... I... you, you!

What's it going, what's it going
What's it going to get?
So long you'll never be afraid
What's it going, what's it going
What's it going to get?
So long you'll never be the same

Turn your head, look right at
None of these faces matter
These are the ones you see right through
If it's going to be at all
It's going to be with you

I... I... I... I... you!
I... I... I... I... you, you!

Who knows where we are?
Alive, alone
Tangled onto arms
Two arms, our own

As long as we're young
Keep you always in love
We're falling (rhythms?)
Feel you holding us up

Crying for you...

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.

It is a pretty awesome song. It's pretty self-explanatory, I think anyway.

KO sounds like the sound effects from a Nintendo game on this. I love her so much. Sigh.

This song is so cute and lovely. "If it's gonna be at all then it's gonna be with you." Mmm, wonderful.

Best song on the album! It's just about the importance of one person being the only one who matters amongst all these faces; "none of these faces matter!" Fav lines are "If it's gonna be at all then it's gonna be with you" and the "crying for you, crying for you, crying for you!" at the end is beautiful
