Echo Park Lyrics

Oh fuck I gotta get my head together
Just need some time to catch my breath
Oh and the rest of you guys
I just hate you, my head is just a wreck

I just don't have nothing left
I get lost here in my crowd
I just don't have no respect
I'm always wondering where you are

Like right now
(Dadada)
I mean I wonder where you are like right now
(Dadada)
Aw man

She says she wants to start again
And she says that she has just been wasting time
I wish that I could disagree
I wish that she wasn't always on my mind

This whole thing feels like a waste of breath
The ashes from some cigarette already smoked
And I tried to make a brand new start
Last night in Echo Park, but I choked

I choked, I choked

(Dadada)
I mean I wonder where you are like right now
(Dadada)
Oh like right now
(Dadada)

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've had this song stuck in my head ever since i saw them live last weekend. i can't wait for them to release a studio version of it so i can listen to it in a good quality. it's got that airborne stamp of authenticity on it, great song. it just seems to be about drifting mindlessly in a crowd, wondering about where "she" went or is, and trying to move on from her but being stuck in this cycle--because she keeps pulling you back in.
