Sister Lyrics

Passing time with you in mind
It's another quiet night
I feel the ground against my back
counting stars against the black
thinking of another day
wishing i was far away
wherever i dreamed i was
you were there with me

Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full of love
keep me please
sister, when you cry
i feel your tears
running down my face
sister, sister keep me
(guitar solo)

I would never make it through
I hope you always know what's true
you can make the sun grow dark
just by walking away

Playing like we used to play
Like it would never go away
I feel you beating in my chest
I'd be dead without

sister, i hear you laugh
my heart fills full of love
keep me please
sister, when you cry
i feel your tears
running down my face
sister, sister keep me
(guitar solo)

I hope you always know what's true
that I would never make it through
you can make the heavens fall
just by walking away
(guitar solo)

sister, i hear you laugh
my heart fills full of love
keep me please
sister, when you cry
i feel your tears
running down my face
sister, sister keep me
(guitar solo)

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.
