Twenty Five Years Lyrics

I've got
Twenty five years
Maybe more if I'm lucky

I know
I've been pretty dumb and I've spent all my money

I've got to make it new
I've got to make it new for you

There's twenty five years to work out where we're going
I know
Summer's almost over so before it starts snowing

I've got to make it new
I've got to make it new for you
I've got to make it new for you
For you

You never tired to mend my ways
No no
Even in my troublesome days
I used to say I'd never wed
Baby, those were foolish things that I said
Da da da da da...

Light, time
Drip drip drip goes the rain on the window
Nowhere
I would rather be when your head's on my pillow

We've got to make it new
I've got to make it new for you
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.
