The Coma Kid Lyrics

I need time to get it right
Always trying to illuminate the past
Questions answered, but the insight never lasts
So I won't look back
I won't look down
I'll focus on the comfort of the cold, cold ground
Comatose and singing

I need time to get it right
I need time to get it right

Always trying to decipher what it means
Hours wasted in the land of hopes and dreams
So I won't look back
I won't look down
I'll focus on the planet spinning round and round
Comatose and singing

I need time to get it right
I need time to get it right
I need time to get it right
I need time to get it right

No, I won't look back this time
I'm going to welter in this lie
Dizzy as this coma kid
With all the things I never said and never did
With all the things I never said and never did

I need time to get it right
I won't look back
I won't look down again
I need time to get it right
I won't look back
I won't look down again
I need time to get it right
I won't look back
I won't look down again
I need time to get it right
I won't look back
I won't look down again
I need time to get it right
I won't look back
I won't look down
I'll focus on the tension building pound for pound
Comatose and singing

I need time to get it right
I need time to get it right
I need time to get it right
I need time to get it right

Everything Is Alright

Hold Me Down

My Favorite Accident

I need time to get it right
I need time to get it right

Always trying to decipher what it means
Hours wasted in the land of hopes and dreams
So I won't look back
I won't look down
I'll focus on the planet spinning round and round
Comatose and singing

I need time to get it right
I need time to get it right
I need time to get it right
I need time to get it right

No, I won't look back this time
I'm going to welter in this lie
Dizzy as this coma kid
With all the things I never said and never did
With all the things I never said and never did

I need time to get it right
I need time to get it right
I need time to get it right
I need time to get it right

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.
