Waiting for the World Lyrics

Waiting for the world to come home
Everybody's gone, I'm here all alone
Waiting for the world to come home

Waiting for the world to come knocking on my door
Just like it did before I'm waiting for the world to be born
Free from this shadow I want to be lost no more
I'm waiting for the world to be born

Waiting for you to come break my heart
'Cause I can't feel anything and it falls apart
I know that sounds tired but it's true
Waiting for the world to come back with you

Waiting for the world to come knocking on my door
Just like it did before I'm waiting for the world
Waiting for the world, waiting for the world
Waiting for the world to come 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.
