Sunlight Lyrics

See me me me me in the picture
Take it down
Look at me me me in the picture
Take me down

I could be the sunlight in your eyes
couldn't I?
Squinting at the sun up in the sky
Couldn't I?
Couldn't I?

Look at me me me in the picture
Who's it cry
Look at you you you in the picture
Say goodbye
Goodbye, good

I could be the sunlight in your eyes
Couldn't I?
Couldn't I?

Screaming at the winking shutterfly
Couldn't I?
Couldn't I?

I could be the sunlight in your eyes
Couldn't I?
Couldn't I?

Light so fast you'll feel it when you die
You didn't try
You didn't try

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.

Lyrics Correction:

Instead of "I could be me in the picture" it is "Look at me me me in the picture" Instead of "of the nice sky" it is "up in the sky" Instead of "who's it crying" it is "who's it cry" Instead of "wind can shadow fly" it is "winking shutterfly" Instead of "But that's a fact" it is "Light so fast"
