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.
These old bones don't feel so old
when I'm home with you.
When I'm not with you,
I'm getting drunk with college kids,
learning lessons that didn't stick,
telling lies to stay interesting.
These old bones don't feel so old when I'm home with you,
in bed with your youth,
The way your skin sticks to your ribs,
the way my hips fit in your hips,
I'm 18 again, dependent like an infant,
I'm content like I've never been born.
But I was born to a rose and her thorn
And they were about as old as I am now.
These old bones, don't feel so old
when I'm home with you.
When I'm not with you,
I'm shitting blood, puking piss,
sweating bile and awkwardness.
It's a young man's game,
about time I quit.
"but i was born to a rose and her thorn and they were about as old as I am now"
I'm pretty sure he's talking about his parents.
In this song, obviously he's writing about the transition from a young boy's lifestyle to a man's life.

Damn..I didn't see this. I just submitted these.

It might be about his wife, not the lines about his parents, but the song in general and the "you." I think he recently got married.
