Short Road Lyrics

Oh, it's clear now, to me,
How lonely the road can be
When you're on your own,
When you're on your own
My mind escapes, to a better hole;
A place, a reason not to leave;
A reason I don't need

'Til then I'm on my own,
I'm on my own
'Til then I'm all alone,
I'm all alone

Sure, the road sometimes is long
And I've been waiting to hear my heart on my thumb
I've been waiting to hear my heart within anyone

And in the pain
Of having faith in something I've never known,
Something I've never known,
Something I've never known

Broken memory makes it hard to see,
A thousand reasons not to stay, to leave
There were times that I was taught to think,
But my thoughts they crippled me

And now I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I'm all alone,
I'm all alone

Sure, the road sometimes is long
And I've been waiting to hear my heart on my thumb
I've been waiting to hear my heart within anyone
Within anyone
Within anyone
Within anyone

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.
