Shimmer and shine Lyrics

It takes a 100 mile of love
to heal a mile of pain.
I never say goodbye to the sea
and I never blow out a flame.

and I've got white lies for dark times
and I don't need your crutch.
I'm kicking out stained glass windows
and I'm tender to the touch.

Shimmer and shine
we leave it all behind
shimmer and shine
when you tell that you're mine
shimmer and shine, shimmer and shine.

Bring me the music for the revolution
it puts my mind at ease,
to know, we're the problem, we're the solution
the cure and the disease.

but life is trying to force me,
force me to trust.
I've done all I can
I'll do what I must.

Shimmer and shine
we leave it all behind
shimmer and shine
when you tell that you're mine
shimmer and shine, shimmer and shine.

Shimmer and shine
leave it all behind.
shimmer and shine
tell me that you're mine
shimmer and shine, shimmer and shine.

shimmer and shine
tell me that you're mine
shimmer and shine when we leave it all behind
shimmer and shimmer and shine.

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.

No comments? This pains me. Ben Harper is amazing. Learned about him through Eddie Vedder
