Everything We All Wish We Could Be Lyrics

When I awake
I want to be someone other than whom this mirror is showing me
You're always telling me to settle down
And figure out just who it is that I want to be
But I have already found me

Life is so much sweeter with nothing to lose
And having nothing to prove to anyone else other than yourself
I can tell between a lie and the truth

Be still, my soul
I release control because I cannot be in charge of my

Life is so much sweeter with nothing to lose
And having nothing to prove to anyone else other than yourself
I can tell between a lie and the truth

I lost myself
I cannot see that you're everything we all wish we could be
I lost myself
I cannot see that you're everything we all wish we could be
I lost myself
(You're everything we all wish we could be)
I cannot see that you're everything we all wish we could be
(You're everything we all wish we could be)
I lost myself
(You're everything we all wish we could be)
I cannot see that you're everything we all wish we could be
(You're everything we all wish we could be)
You're everything we all wish we could be
You're everything we all wish we could be
You're everything we all wish we could be
You're everything we all wish we could be

When I awake
I want to be someone other than whom this mirror is showing me
You're always telling me to settle down
And figure out just who it is that I want to be
But I have already found me
 
Life is so much sweeter with nothing to lose
And having nothing to prove to anyone else other than yourself
I can tell between a lie and the truth

Be still, my soul
I release control because I cannot be in charge of my

Life is so much sweeter with nothing to lose
And having nothing to prove to anyone else other than yourself
I can tell between a lie and the truth

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.
