Hangin' On Lyrics

As the city sleeps I'm on fire
And I'm burning to shades of red
Drag myself to an open field and I'm hanging on
I'm just hanging on

And the king he screams, "Look out darling
This fears coming towards your way.
I'll lay it down in a sorry garden."
I'm hanging on
Oh I'm just hanging on
Oh and I will someday see this in a different
I will someday see this in a different light

And I'm an enemy of certainty
And a lover of the things that remain unseen
Oh don't tell me what the days may bring
I'm just hanging on
Oh, just hanging on
And I will someday see this in a different
I will someday see this in a different light

I've been looking for the man who shot me down
So I can kick the blame right off myself
*Bang bang* hit the ground
It's the daily sound
I'm just hanging on
Oh, I'm just hanging on
I'm just hanging on
Oh, I'm just hanging on

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.

Third verse should be:

And I'm an enemy of certainty And a lover of the things that remain unseen

Also...I think the missing lyric is:

I've been looking for the man who shot me down So I can kick the blame right off myself And then we can drown, it's just the daily sound

I have nothing to verify this, but they both sound correct to me.
