Not So Long Ago Lyrics

Memories fade, but experience is mapped in lines on hands and face which lead to heart. Keep a box of photos, snapshots to memorize. Mapping current situations to pieces of other lives. Memories fade, but experience is mapped in lines on hands and face which lead to heart. Trying hard to recall times we had, times we shared. Wasn’t so long ago, but the focus blurs in my mind, trying to find a source or connection, a certain gesture or phrase that brings it all back to me. Memories fade, but experience is mapped in lines on hands and face which lead to heart.

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.
