Sweet Life Lyrics

Take me along to a place i remember
Where all of my friends - now they're gone forever
How they love the sweet life
I'm destined to run with the holy

I must wait
Dying inside ever slowly
I'll be on my way
I saw the flame of the candle burning down so low

I danced with my friends 'til they had to go
My spirit stayed -give me no relief
My spirit stayed -gave me no release
How they loved the sweet life

I'm destined to run with the holy
I must wait
Dying inside ever slowly
I'll be on my way

Sitting alone in a darkened room
Trail of smoke and warn out mind
Mister depression overstayed his welcome
Something inside took me away

Take me along to a place i remember
All of my friends -thought i knew them better
How they loved the sweet life

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.
