Through Toledo Lyrics

Another humdrum gray day
I wonder if this rain passed Toledo
And if so I hope it left a sunny day through your
Window
I can't make shape or form
Of this new emotion

I need a drive up San Fransisco bay
I'd write this song on the way
I'm not sure I belong here anyway
She thinks that I've already gone away

Another hum drum gray day
Maybe I'll head out for a movie
The day is always so bright
After a matinee
Wouldn't you say?

I need a drive up San Fransisco bay
I'd write this song on the way
I'm not sure I belong here anyway
She thinks that I've already gone away

Yeah I figure one day I'll snap out of this
Yeah one day soon I'll pull my head down out of
Outer-space
Yeah I figure one day I'll snap out of this
Yeah one day soon I'll take that drive out

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.

I love this song. I think it's my favourite of his. It seems to be all about being introspective and perhaps thinking about the end of a relationship. I love the "I figure one day soon I'll snap out of this...pull my head down out of space...etc" verse.

I think this song is about getting out of some kind of funk - whether it be a bad relationship or just a time in your life. Like the lines "I need a drive up San Francisco bay...I'm not sure I belong here anyway"...I think they're just talking about taking a break from reality. My favorite part is the whole "I figure one day I'll snap out of this." That part's like the little bit of hope in the song, and that's what makes this song so brilliant.
