Orchard Lyrics

The past is prophetic; Some days I am poetic.
Some days I know the rules, some days I play with them.
I am the orchard and the tree; I am my own worst enemy.
Jump start my lungs, kick the lever. I've gotten way too clever.
I've gotten way too…clever...
The past is poetic; Some days I am pathetic.
Some days I know the rules, some days I play by them.
I am the orchard and the tree; I am my own worst enemy.
Jump start my lungs, kick the lever. I've gotten way too clever.
I've gotten way too clever. I've gotten way too clever…
The day my childhood died, of old age and a broken leg.
I stayed awake, ate my mistakes, recalled an ever after.
Live. Live laughing laughter.
Live…Live laughing laughter.
Live…Live laughing laughter.
I am the orchard and the tree; I am my own worst enemy.
Jump start my lungs, kick the lever. I've gotten way too clever.
I've gotten way too…clever.
I've gotten…I've gotten way too clever…
Clever…I've gotten way too clever.
I've gotten…way too…clever.

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.
