Vanilla Lyrics

Forget Prior engagements
Cancel your plans
Letï¿½s do something amazing
While we still can
I'm floating above you
High on your kiss
Weï¿½re splashed like paint on the pavement
A beautiful waste
I'll drop bombs in the valley
If he comes near you
I'm gonna make something happen
Watch what you do
I can't breathe underwater
I can't stand in the air
But I will tear up your whole world
And not even care
So make lists of your lovers
People you kiss
Then tear them to pieces
Forget they exist
My hometown's a wasteland
Frightened of ghosts
Weï¿½re splashed like paint on the pavement
This isnï¿½t my home

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.
