Obsession Lyrics

I think about you all the time
You're becoming an obsession
Can't seem to get you off my mind
It's a simple indiscretion

Summer in the city, trying to make a living
Doing our best to survive
There's never enough hours in the day
To stop and feel you're really alive
I was drifting away on a city-bound train
Thinking about the girl of my dreams
I could feel my hands running through her hair
As she wrapped her arms around me
She's a mystery girl from another world
She's all that I need to escape
And I need to feel her arms around me
I really need to get away

I think about you all the time
You're becoming an obsession
Can't seem to get you off my mind
It's a simple indiscretion

Got a burning yearning here inside
Got to feel your heartbeat next to mine
With your hair like gold and your eyes so blue
There's one thing girl, I promise you

I think about you all the time
You're becoming an obsession
Can't seem to get you off my mind
It's a simple indiscretion

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.
