Thought of You Lyrics

Why do you live so far away
When I need you every night and day?
Every second feels like a century
Every clock tick's like a tympanie

I've got no job and no place to go
I'm just waiting for you to show
Why do you live so far away
When I need you more than I can say?

All I could do is look up at the sky
I'll just wait for your plane to fly on by
I've got no friends and no enemies
And there's no one to take care of me

What can I do?
I can't let go of this thought of you
I close my eyes and I wait
Oh I stand by

What can I do?
I can't let go of this thought of you
I close my eyes and I wait
Oh I stand by

Yeah I stand by

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.
