Symphony 5: Was a Surprise Lyrics

Don’t want to go to sleep tonight
'Cause I don’t think I’ll survive
Without Symphony Number Five

Number five you were on my mind
For three days and three nights, never knew I had it coming
I laid down in the street for you
Taught the neighborhood how to creep for you
Said a few things, loving loving life
Set aside my pride and my strife
Then I got up and I went to school
Practiced till my fingers turned a shade of blue
Learned how to love it, even when I failed
Though I’ll admit it, I railed
Yeah, there were days
Throwing up my hands like a woman on plane
Coming down, screaming down, running like rain

Don’t want to go to sleep tonight
'Cause I don’t think I’ll survive
Without Symphony Number Five

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.
