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.
I'd walk, I would run but I'd die before I would get to you
There's no way I'd get to you
The roads have fallen off this earth
There's no way I would get to you in time, no way I'd get to you
So please won't you come flying
Won't you come rescue me
Like you do in my dreams
And please don't you take your time
Our candle's burning out in an hour
I'd like to hold you one last time
Our violet sun is burning out
Our crumbling town is falling apart
Our sun is burning out
So please won't you come flying
Won't you come rescue me
Like you do in my dreams
And please don't you take your time
Our candle's burning out in an hour
I'd like to hold you one last time
Our sun is burning out
In an hour, burning out
I'd like to hold you
I'd like to hold you one last time
Here are the lyrics and from them I get that either she or he are drifting away from one of them and the other wants him/her to come back but they can't seem to reach the other to get them to love them again.
