Through the Years Lyrics

I called to see if you were home
I haven't told you how I felt
All these years just slipped away
A trace of you is still inside

And I watch the sun go down before my eyes
The light that once shone in your eyes
I haven't seen it since I left
It made me feel I was alive

All that changes through the years
All the feelings disappear
Now I know nothing is sure
And around...
It goes
And around...

And I watch the sun come up before my eyes
It shines so bright it hurts my eyes
I haven't seen it since I left
It makes me feel I am alive

All that changes through the years
All the tears just disappear
Now I know nothing is sure
Nothing is sure...
I've heard your words
All like before
I've heard it all
I've heard it all before
All before

Throw it away
All the things that I said
All the games that we played
And all these things in my head
And all the words that I say
And all the things I forget
And all the vows that I made
Keep on spinning inside
It spins around and around...
It goes and all our dreams just disappear
'Cause now I know nothing is sure
And around...

I called to see if you were home
I haven't told you how I felt
All these years just slipped away
A trace of you is still inside

And I watch the sun go down before my eyes
The light that once shone in your eyes
I haven't seen it since I left
It made me feel I was alive

All that changes through the years
All the feelings disappear
Now I know nothing is sure
And around...
It goes
And around...

And I watch the sun come up before my eyes
It shines so bright it hurts my eyes
I haven't seen it since I left
It makes me feel I am alive

All that changes through the years
All the tears just disappear
Now I know nothing is sure
Nothing is sure...
I've heard your words
All like before
I've heard it all
I've heard it all before
All before

Throw it away
All the things that I said
All the games that we played
And all these things in my head
And all the words that I say
And all the things I forget
And all the vows that I made
Keep on spinning inside
It spins around and around...
It goes and all our dreams just disappear
'Cause now I know nothing is sure
And around...

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.
