Books & Books Lyrics

It's in my face
How much I've changed
The colors clash
Of who I used to be
Things are getting weird
My thoughts are changing
So get me out of this place
Get me out of this place

Go ahead and write this down
So you'll remember now
So you'll remember now
Go ahead and scream it out
So you'll remember now
Everything you said

It's obvious that I've become
Everything that you don't want me to be
I need to change, rearrange
Start walking your way
Start walking your way

Maybe love pokes through
When we're at our worst
Maybe love comes through
When we're broken at the end

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 verse part of this song sounds a lot like Jimmy Eat World's "Gotta Be Somebody's Blues".

I think this song talks about somebody who has walked away from God. "It's in my face How much I've changed". He knows that he needs to get back on the right path, and he's calling on God to help him. "Get me out of this place" The chorus, I believe, is God replying, telling him not to forget this. He doesn't want him to fall back into his previous life. He is saying to write it down, to scream it out, whatever necessary to remember. In the last verse, he is saying that he was broken, nothing left, yet God showed him love and helped him through. So, in short, I see this as a continuous struggle that is happening with many people. We just need to remember to keep on praying and working at it, and God will help us.

Sorry if this is a bit unorganized, but I typed this out on my iPod. I may have had a few more quotes otherwise.
