Q&A

on my friends Lyrics

he good in us finds it's way
to the surface where it claws and fights to stay

tonight we'll enjoy the time we had
but in the morning i'll leave before you wake

no more living alone
no more running away
sing one last note
before i walk off stage

losing my mind
was never easy
on my friends
focus your thoughts
breath deeply
and make it through the dark

no more living alone
no more running away
sing one last note
before i walk off stage

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.

I really love this song, I know I probably wont look at it the same way as anyone else but really it hits something in me, and I'm glad its got such simple lines and makes such an impact.

I know there are many ways to interpret any lyrics but in my head I almost imagined some kind of motion picture.

A boy/man who has grown to become mentally ill from depression, "tonight we'll enjoy the time we had but in the morning i'll leave before you wake" I viewed that as he is leaving to get help in the morning, and wont be home again until he feels better. I don't think of it as he is sleeping next to someone, because he doesn't seem to depict a lover in the song. The lines "No more living alone, no more running away" he's more of talking about in his head, he's done running away from his mental illness and living alone in it. "focus your thoughts, breath deeply and make it through the dark" This is a type of advice he is giving himself and reminding himself to get through the night/day and the rest he has to live.
