The Design Lyrics

I remember the day
Of the moment
Defined
-We stepped back
And drew a line-
THere is no more to taste
Through this window of mine
Please step back
I'm coming home

Stop, I want more
If only I could choose
Which way it falls
I'm over it
The end of all I know
Is just a footstep further away
But it's alright

You remember the day that we failed the design
Staring back
We drew a line

Breathing
All these things I'm forgetting
I'll change
It's been too long
I am all for beginnings
I'll change

I wanna be the one who says...

You thought I completed you
Here this circle ends
We've fed enough from this
We failed The Design.

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.

Even though in the official lyrics booklet it says "AND it's alright" at the end of the chorus, I still think it's "BUT", not "and" :/

Yes, I wanted to enter it as it was in the booklet, BUT it is most definitely BUT. In the first chorus he only says 'It's alright' the next is really muffled, and the third chorus, before the long bridge, he pauses and then says BUT it's alright. There are a few spelling mistakes in the booklet, but i didn't think they'd get that wrong. It was a difficult choice; choosing between what's written in the book, and what's sung in the song. Both are just as genuine as the other :S

It's done anyways ^^

I noticed some mistakes in the lyrics booklet, too! And yeah, I know what you mean. I agree with you about what he's saying lol. I find it strange that they got it wrong in the booklet shrug Oh well! :)
