Short Circuit Lyrics

What's going on?
Could this be my understanding
It's not your fault, I was being too demanding
I must admit it's my pride that made me distant
All because I hoped that you'd be someone different

There's not much to know about you
Fear will always make you blind
But the answer is in clear view
It's amazing what you'll find face to face
'Mazing what you'll find face to face
'Mazing what you'll find face to face
'Mazing what you'll find face to face
'Mazing what you'll find face to face
'Mazing what you'll find face to face
'Mazing what you'll find face to face
'Mazing what you'll find face to face
'Mazing what you'll find face to face

What's going on?
Could this be my understanding
It's not your fault, I was being too demanding
I must admit it's my pride that made me distant
All because I hoped that you'd be someone different

There's not much to know about you
Fear will always make you blind
But the answer is in clear view
It's amazing what you'll find face to face

Work it harder, make it better, do it faster, makes us stronger
More than ever, hour after, our work is, never over
Our work is, never over
Our work is, never over
Our work is, never over

I turned away 'cause I thought you were the problem
Tried to forget until I hit the bottom
But when I faced you in my blank confusion
I had to see it was just a mere illusion

(Work it harder, make it better)
It really didn't make sense
Just to leave this unresolved
It's not hard to go the distance
When you finally get involved face to face

Our work is, never over
Our work is, never over
Our work is, never over
Our work is, never over

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.
