Never Anyone But You Lyrics

all summer long
there were voices in the hall
that’s what she said
people hanging round
but it’s just ghosts
it’s just voices in your head

west wind rising
into my sleep
all night all night
it dragged my bones through the street

I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you

when evening comes, the fields are full of voices
she said don’t be afraid of what you hear
when evening comes, the fields are full of voices
but no one’s there

I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you

so that summer passed,
but i never was the same when I got home
there’s a phantom in my breath
there’s a phantom in the gaps betwene my bones

standing in my kitchen
watching the time
I heard the choirs all night
I heard the choirs all night

I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see 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.

I think this is about spending the summer with a girl who believes that there are voices around here, all the while the author cannot hear these voices or see these ghosts, only her. When he returns back home, perhaps because he missed or spending the summer with her changed him, but he now hears the voices too.
