Former Ties Lyrics

I can't buy another bus ride home.
Too many tickets and I'm feeling so alone
without you by my side.
I'm not sure I'm gonna make this ride.

Cause the passengers seat just don't feel right
when you're riding alone in the middle of the night.
And you don't know how but you got to say
you miss my face more every day.

I don't know what I'm gonna do but
I just spilled myself all over you.
And you said that's alright.
You don't know if you can find the time.

Cause the passengers seat just don't feel right
when you're riding alone in the middle of the night.
And you don't know how but you got to say
You miss my voice more every day.

We remember words and phrases from our former lives

Free way, free way,
I've been riding down this road for countless days.
Free way, free way,
I've been riding down this road for countless days.
Free way, free way,
I've been riding down this road for countless days.
Free way, free way,
I've been riding down this road for countless days.
Free way, free way,
I've been riding down this road for countless days.
Free way, free way,
I've been riding down this road for countless days.

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.

I think there's some typos.

I think the lyrics are supposed to be "I'm not sure I'm gonna make this right." and "our former ties are holding us down."
