Headlights Lyrics

We breathe out and the words in the smoke fumes grow

Out our mouths, I'm leaving in a bad way, in a bad way

Acquaintances and friends comparing compliments all night

A flash of skeleton grins, discordant noise, the talking dims..

We got cold. Spent the night driving home

We swallowed road under bonnet. It all speeds by

And as the road unfolds, unfurling homes in the headlights

The space between your ears fills up with verse and tears..

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.

The second stanza is absolutely beautiful, god. It just brings to mind driving late at night with the girl I love, staring into the darkness and listening to hauntingly beautiful music (like this song!)
