The Deadroads Lyrics

Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo

Long way now through the deadroads in our hometown
I never tried to hold you tight, until you left me and fade
Neighborhoods, under the lights, we felt our hearts grow strong
I never tried to hold you tight, until you left me there at home

Oooooo
Oooooo

It's a long way now through the deadroads to your house
I never tried to hold you tight until you left me and fade
Neighborhoods we learned to drive, we learned to grow up strong
I never tried to hold you tight until you left me

And I should run away and think of those
Nights not up close, still hold the ghost of our empty town

Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo

Long way now through the deadroads in our hometown
I never tried to hold you tight until you left me and fade
Neighborhoods under the lights, we felt our hearts grow strong
I never tried to hold you tight until you left me

And I should run away and think of those
Nights not up close, still hold a ghost of our empty town

Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo

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.
