Center of Attention Lyrics

Missed out on all the simple concepts,
Like how to listen to your conscience.

Now you making up for the fact that
All your talent, is missing something again.

I could be your center of attention,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),

One word could end it all.
I could be your savior in a second,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
Sweet Jesus carry me.

Broke down to curb sides and bar stools,
You can spin it anyway you want to.
But you're making up for the fact that
All your talent, is missing something again.

I could be your center of attention,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
One word could end it all.
I could be your savior in a second,

But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
Sweet Jesus carry me.

When the time is right, when the time is right,
I'm taking back what's mine.

When the time is right, when the time is right,
I'm taking back what's mine.

I could be your center of attention,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),

One word could end it all.
I could be your savior in a second,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
Sweet Jesus carry me.

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.
