Around the Bend Lyrics

Inside I'm free
no need to breathe
the knife cuts a careful arch
intent to leave it's mark
and through it, I see
Around and around the bend
this circle remains an end
Around and around the bend
this circle remains a friend
Around and around the bend
this cycle remains a test
in the garden she's scene
captured imagery
buried beneath the ground
still life all around
and through it, I see
Around and around the bend
this circle remains an end
Around and around the bend
this circle remains a friend
Around and around the bend
this cycle remains a test
Around and around the bend
this circle remains an end
with a step she closes in on me
like broken glass
a drop of jewelry
with a click she takes my breath away
and holds it for another day
Around and around the bend
this circle remains an end
Around and around the bend
this circle remains a friend
Around and around the bend
this cycle remains a test
Around and around the bend
this circle remains an end
below the place I carve and rest
a matchbook sparks a lone address
the fire burns and walks with me
down to Contemplation Street

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.
