Story On a Shelf Lyrics

Is it true that you think
that my brain is on the brink?
Can I change your mind?
I'm at war with myself,
Some story on a shelf,
in some kind of binding-

Don't you panic,
I'm not gonna change, I'm not gonna change
I've gone manic,
I'm not gonna change, I'm not gonna change, no

People say we're the same,
that we rarely complain
How does it feel, my dear,
to know all my thoughts,
the silly things I bought,
When will it be so clear?

Don't you panic,
I'm not gonna change, I'm not gonna change
I've gone manic,
I'm not gonna change, I'm not gonna change, no

We both know how it'd be
if you leave me antsy,
Life's not the same no more
I'd be slightly insane
and out of my brain
just because I adore you...

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.
