I Wish I Was Five Lyrics

Somebody somewhere is fighting today
So much to say and so little time to say
Think I'm not allowed to speak about
Not allowed to even shout about

Silly things, to play on swings
I wish I was five
Wish I was five
Sometimes it's not so good to be alive

Get out of this place
You must have a tie
Your face never goes red
When you tell a lie

Saw you with another man today
My hair is gonna change from black to gray

Silly things, to play on swings
I wish I was five
Wish I was five
Sometimes it's not so good to be alive

I wish I was five
But to be alive when you're five
I wish I was five
But to be alive when you're five

Somebody somewhere is fighting today
So much to say and so little time to say
Think I'm not allowed to speak about
Not allowed to even shout about

Silly things, to play on swings
I wish I was five
Wish I was five
Sometimes it's not so good to be alive

I wish I was five
But to be alive when you're five
I wish I was five
But to be alive when you're five
I wish I was five

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.
