Graduate In Getting By Lyrics

He's not confident how many times he can get back up again
Just hold things back like they never meant a single thing to you
And I got my face down on the floor
It's time to face my final score
Break down the walls, rewrite the rules
Against the odds I might survive
To live this life I can't afford

And I want to see a room full of high fives when I get home tonight
And I made it past the finish line
'Cause I'm a graduate in getting by

Third time's a charm, I fall in and out of luck
I spent every hour chasing the life I want
To be an overnight success
And become a drawn out mess
I break down the walls, rewrite the rules
If there's any chance of survival

And I want to see a room full of high fives when I get home tonight
And I made it past the finish line
'Cause I'm a graduate in getting by

And I want to see a room full of high fives when I get home tonight
And I made it past the finish line
'Cause I'm a graduate in getting by

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.
