Something to Live For Lyrics

Wandering far from nowhere
I came across an old man working alone
He didn't notice me at all
But my past was written in his pictures
All over the sidewalk, I took a moment to look at them
But I had already seen them from the inside
Scenes all to familiar now
I would have looked away
If I could have somehow

I want to know what lies ahead
I want to see what is in store
I want to know what I am about
And if I have something to live for

He drew a road to nowhere
And I found myself following blindly along
Never asking where it led
Not knowing my home
Was the road I was on

I want to know what lies ahead
I want to see what is in store
I want to know what I am about
And if I have something to live for

"Paint me a groom," I said
"Paint me my estate
Paint me my children
Paint me a future of some kind
A reason for being"

I want to know what lies ahead
I want to see what is in store
I want to know what I am about
And if I have something to live for
I want to know what lies ahead
I want to see what is in store
I want to know what I am about
And if I have something to live for

Better Part Of Me

Wandering far from nowhere
I came across an old man working alone
He didn't notice me at all
But my past was written in his pictures
All over the sidewalk, I took a moment to look at them
But I had already seen them from the inside
Scenes all to familiar now
I would have looked away
If I could have somehow

I want to know what lies ahead
I want to see what is in store
I want to know what I am about
And if I have something to live for

He drew a road to nowhere
And I found myself following blindly along
Never asking where it led
Not knowing my home
Was the road I was on

I want to know what lies ahead
I want to see what is in store
I want to know what I am about
And if I have something to live for

"Paint me a groom," I said
"Paint me my estate
Paint me my children
Paint me a future of some kind
A reason for being"

I want to know what lies ahead
I want to see what is in store
I want to know what I am about
And if I have something to live for
I want to know what lies ahead
I want to see what is in store
I want to know what I am about
And if I have something to live for

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.
