Father Figure Lyrics

When I leave I dream of only fields and trees
And I know that I can always find you there
In the sand, a temporary happy plan
And I've drawn it out so it can wash away
I can't lie, father figure I'm not fine
I don't want to have to hide father figure....I'm not fine.
Made it up of ceilings I could never touch
And I'll never laugh about all this one day
I can't lie, father figure I'm not fine
I don't want to have to hide father figure....I'm not fine.
Father figure....
I can't lie, father figure I'm not fine
I don't want to have to hide, I don't want to have to hide, father figure....I'm not fine.

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.
