Right Outside Lyrics

What did you ever see in me?
You know that diamond ring will set you free
While you are waiting for that dream

I'll be waitin' in the morning when you're coming to your senses
Don't keep tellin' me you didn't mean it just to make me stay
How did it get so far away?
How did it get so far?

What did you ever do for me?
You thought those eerie eyes would break you free
Are you still waiting for that dream?

I'll be waitin' in the morning when you're coming to your senses
Don't keep tellin' me you didn't mean it just to make me stay
How did it get so far away?
How did it get so far?

Something in our dreams to keep the stars away
There's something in the stars to control our fate

I'll be waitin' in the morning when you're coming to your senses
Don't keep tellin' me you didn't mean it just to make me stay
How did it get so far away?
How did it get so far?

I'll be waitin' in the morning when you're coming to your senses
Don't keep tellin' me you didn't mean it just to make me stay
How did it get so far away?
How did it get so far?

Dear Child (I've Been Dying To Reach You)

What did you ever see in me?
You know that diamond ring will set you free
While you are waiting for that dream

I'll be waitin' in the morning when you're coming to your senses
Don't keep tellin' me you didn't mean it just to make me stay
How did it get so far away?
How did it get so far?

What did you ever do for me?
You thought those eerie eyes would break you free
Are you still waiting for that dream?

I'll be waitin' in the morning when you're coming to your senses
Don't keep tellin' me you didn't mean it just to make me stay
How did it get so far away?
How did it get so far?

Something in our dreams to keep the stars away
There's something in the stars to control our fate

I'll be waitin' in the morning when you're coming to your senses
Don't keep tellin' me you didn't mean it just to make me stay
How did it get so far away?
How did it get so far?

I'll be waitin' in the morning when you're coming to your senses
Don't keep tellin' me you didn't mean it just to make me stay
How did it get so far away?
How did it get so far?

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.

I think this song is about a guy who has proposed to his girlfriend but she is scared to say I do, so she keeps telling him no. She then says she didn't mean it so he'll stay. He's basically saying either you love me or you don't but you have to make that decision, I can't do it for you.
