I Can't Get to You from Here Lyrics

I'm glad you called me I can still feel your voice
Touch something inside me but I have no choice
But to tell you I'm no longer one of the boys
And I can't get to you from here.

No, I don't think you'd know me if you saw me up close
I've built me a family and I don't like to boast,
But I'm all settled in to what I need the most
And I can't get to you from here.

I can't turn back the years
And get crazy again and have nothing to fear
Easy as it might appear
I can't just turn back and get there from here.

I only bet when I've got all the cards
I don't take on all comers if they come to hard
I'm a daddy and a voter and I go to bed tired
And I can't get to you from here.

I can't turn back the years
And get crazy again and have nothing to fear
Easy as it might appear
I can't just turn back and get there from here.

I only bet when I've got all the cards
I don't take on all comers if they come on too hard
I'm a daddy and a voter and I go to bed tired
And I can't get to you from here.

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.
