If I Could Lyrics

These anxious walls
You've torn them down
Im telling you when I shut my eyes
I can feel now
You call me names
I feel a sound
Swear you could send a train my way
I'll still be around
These precious times
Day after day
Swear if I could stop time right now
I can't sing this, back home
Where you gonna go
I can't sing this, back home
You feel shame
I feel proud
I can see it in the way
You don't show me around
I could lay here all day
This is your favorite show
Swear even if you could no longer move
I wouldn't go
Swear even if you lost all your looks
I wouldn't go
I can't sing this, back home
Where you gonna go
I can't sing this, back home

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.
