Before I Wake Lyrics

Here we are again
Like we've always been
Since time uncertain

Who's supposed to start?
Where do we begin?
When we've got so far to go
And we know

Tomorrow everything will change
Today will never seem the same
So I will try to find a way
To say everything I need to say
And if I should die before I wake
Remember everything we said today

Everybody says
Everything must go
Well I don't think so

Something still remains
In everyone we know
Since far away and long ago
And it shows

Tomorrow everything will change
Today will never seem the same
So I will try to find a way
To say everything I need to say
And if I should die before I wake
Remember everything we said today

Tomorrow everything will change
Today will never seem the same
So I will try to find a way
To say everything I need to say
And if I should die before I wake
Remember everything we said today

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.

Beautiful song about trying to start over. The narrator is trying to mend a declining relationship weather that is with a significant other or family member.
It is an optimistic look into the future, even though they have been in this situation over and over.
