Great Big World Lyrics

Here's a story I hope you'll likeÂ
It's the one about the girl riding on her bikeÂ
I know it's a tired old tale but it still rings trueÂ
She could never be rude or unkindÂ
But a sad song played at the back of her mindÂ
Oh, can someone show me a different dayÂ
To take me awayÂ

Take me out of the woodsÂ
Great big worldÂ
You know I'm wanting for youÂ
You know I'm wanting for youÂ

They tell me goodies make the woods go roundÂ
And every day they fix their tea to wash 'em downÂ
You know, if you spin your wheels everything's okayÂ
There's a girl who's been on my mindÂ
She was never one who ever cared to colour in the linesÂ
Oh, did you know that this girl looks a lot like meÂ

Take me out of the woodsÂ
Great big worldÂ
You know I'm wanting for youÂ
You know I'm wanting for youÂ
I'm wanting for youÂ
I'm waiting for 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.
