How Did I Get Here? Lyrics

How did I get here
Lyin' in the sunshine
All I have is tears
Watch them as they fall
I'm wishing you were here
This was supposed to be a good time
This was supposed to be our year
Now there's nothing after all.

How did I get here
I guess it doesn't really matter
I try and pass the days
Without you on my mind
Without you next to me
This is feeling like a bad dream
I'm doin' it again
I thought about you one more time

I'm sending out a message via satellite
Where are you tonight my dear
We're all missing you right here
We're lighting you a candle in the dead of night
Where are you tonight my dear
We're all missing you

I'm sending out a message via satellite
Where are you tonight my dear
We're all missing you right
Lighting you a candle in the dead of night
Where are you tonight my dear
We're all missing you

How did I get here
Lyin' in the sunshine
All I have is tears
Watch them as they fall
How did I get here
I guess it doesn't really matter
Try and pass the day
Without you on my mind
Without you next to me
This is feeling like a bad dream
Now I'm doing it again
I thought about you one more time

How did I get here
Lyin' in the sunshine
All I have is tears
Watch them as they fall
I'm wishing you were here
This was supposed to be a good time
This was supposed to be our year
Now there's nothing after all.

How did I get here
I guess it doesn't really matter
I try and pass the days
Without you on my mind
Without you next to me
This is feeling like a bad dream
I'm doin' it again
I thought about you one more time

I'm sending out a message via satellite
Where are you tonight my dear
We're all missing you right here
We're lighting you a candle in the dead of night
Where are you tonight my dear
We're all missing you

I'm sending out a message via satellite
Where are you tonight my dear
We're all missing you right
Lighting you a candle in the dead of night
Where are you tonight my dear
We're all missing you

How did I get here
Lyin' in the sunshine
All I have is tears
Watch them as they fall
How did I get here
I guess it doesn't really matter
Try and pass the day
Without you on my mind
Without you next to me
This is feeling like a bad dream
Now I'm doing it again
I thought about you one more time

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 believe that this song is about losing a person you love. More of an intimate friend or a partner, rather than a relative.
