Wipe It Away Lyrics

Drive out to see her
Been a long time
No expectations
Can't wait for her smile
Just friends this time

White dress is shining
She's looking so fine
Try to remember
Just saying to my mind
That we're just friends this time

Didn't mean for the kiss to come in
Wasn't part of the script that I was given
Please forgive
Wipe it away, wipe it away

Don't let me stay
'Cause I got nothing for you
No promises
I'm just a nail in your shoe
And I'll give you your own, oh

Didn't mean for that kiss to come in
Wasn't part of the script that I was given
Please forgive
Wipe it away, wipe it away

Won't you drive away
'Cause I'm no good for you
There's no place in this place
That was built for you

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.
