Fall and Flee Lyrics

We all become memories after having gone.
Dancing in the light flickering behind their eyes.

I'm hoping it's showing my heart never stopped growing,
I'll take comfort in knowing, this melody has never been sung,
With these words!

We come and then we go, goodbye!
Our hopes will tend to fall and flee awry.

Try to make the most, even after we all know,
We're giving up the ghost, a final glow before we burn.

I'm hoping it's showing my heart never stopped growing,
I'll take comfort in knowing, this melody has never been sung,
With these words!

We come and then we go, goodbye!
Our hopes will tend to fall and flee awry.

Oooh, Goodnight!
Oooh, Goodbye!

I'm hoping it's showing my heart never stopped growing,
I'll take comfort in knowing...

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 lost a dear friend. He was magical. He lit the room up and he was hilarious. He was complicated, but he was my favorite. He died of pancreatic cancer after moving to Oregon. A few years later this song came on when I was thinking of Jeff as I drove through Oregon and I swear I could sense his presense. His good natured spirit. So I love this song It helped me grieve. "Dancing in the light flickering flickering behind my eyes"

Our hopes will tend to fall and flee awry. / Trying to make the most even after we all know we’re giving up the ghost. A final glow before we burn. Goodbye.
