Mayfly Lyrics

Fly like the mayfly
Fly like the mayfly
I've only got a second, and so:
You're beautiful and you need to know
So fly like the mayfly
A lifetime is a long time
When you decide to settle
My time, God it flies by
Since I met her
Fly like the mayfly
Fly like the mayfly
I don't expect to be understood
That never did my heart any good
So fly like the mayfly
A lifetime is a long time
When you decide to settle
My time, God it flies by
Since I met her
We take and take and then we
Wonder that we're not happy
What's missing what can it be?
Nothing means more than a kiss
No nothing means more than this
Not one of these shall I miss

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.
