It's Been So Long Lyrics

It's been so long
Since I've seen you home
Open hands and teeth and hearts
And dreams I can never compete
And I don't even know your name
Unpronouncable
Unsatisfactable mind
I've seen so gray
Tell me there's not a way for all these
Stories are the same
It's been so long
Since I've seen you home
Open hands and teeth and hearts
And dreams I can never compete
And I don't even know your name
Unpronouncable
Unsatisfactable mind
I've seen so gray
Tell me there's not a way for all these
Stories are the same

Don't Leave Me Now

The Day Texas Sank to the Bottom of the Sea

Close Your Eyes

I Keep Having These Dreams

When We Embraced

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.

It's been so long Since I've seen you, Oh Open hands and teeth And heart and dreams I can never can compete

And I don't even know your name Unpronounceable Unsatisfactable my Life seems so grey Tell me there's not a way That all these stars are the same

It's been so long Since I've seen you, oh Open hands and teeth And hearts and dreams I can never can compete

And I don't even know your name Unpronounceable Unsatisfactable my Life seems so grey Tell me there's not a way That all these stars are the same
