Trying to Find a Home Lyrics

(Stuart)
Still trying to find a reason
Still trying to find a home
Just some place to spread my things in
A place from where I can run

(Dickon)
Can’t fall so far so silent
You saw the stars above
Your smiling faces cheat us (?)
Take what we never had

(Stuart)
The lowered sun
Brings another memory
I held in my head
So I can see
Every colour you were wearing
Every colour in your eyes

(Dickon)
Can’t fall far so silent
You saw the stars above
Your smiling faces cheat us (?)
Take what we never had

(Stuart)
And I hear you whisper
"Where are you?"
And I see my hand
Upon your skin
Can you feel me searching for you?
Still trying to find a home

(Dickon)
And there will come a time
When everything's so tough
Everything's apart
Trying to find a home
We were so near
We are so apart

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 don't know if these are the actual lyrics, but it is what I hear when I listen to this great song.
