75 and 17 Lyrics

This city life and all
The lights are fading
Thought I'd feel alive
but all I feel's sedated.
The city life's about to swallow me whole

I thought I'd write you
Use a, use a pen and paper
Making barstrokes and you'll think
You'll think I'll forget you
Is there a place for us?
Is there a place for us?

This city life will swallow all of me
I'm 75 I was just 17

And late last night when all the
walls are spinning
I remember time and time again
That I forget you
The city life's about to swallow me whole

I start a new life in the
In the saddest season
This city life's got no rhyme or reason
Is there a place for us?
Is there yeah?

I'll always want you to want me the way I want you everyday
I want to tell you you're beautiful
And kiss you so you can't say a thing
I'm 75, I'm 75, I'm 75, I was just 17

Is there a place for us?
Is there, yeah?
Well it swallowed me and it swallowed all of me
I'm 75, I'm 75, I'm 75 I was just 17

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.
