Desoto Lyrics

I can't stay in this place. Just after four years I can see their eyelids getting heavy. Between the 9 to 5 and the drunken nights, it's just empty promises and empty lives, and everything that held us together is gone. Paved over and forgotten. Paved over and forgotten.

We never even saw it coming till the concrete started closing in. Till the sprawl became the nails in our coffins. Look around. You'll always be one step from getting out. So if you want something better, start running now.

Look around. Look around. Start running now. Start running now. Their prosperity. Our grim reality. The concrete started closing in. The sprawl became the nails in our coffins. Look around. You'll always be one step from getting out. So if you want something better, start running now. Paved over and forgotten. Paved over and forgotten. We never even saw it coming. We never even saw it coming. We never even saw it coming.

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.
