The Road Lyrics

[Emily]
I don't understand why you're doing this to me...
Why do you want me back? Why did you ever want me at all?
You're just so intent on living in the past,
Why won't you accept that what we had is gone?

[Jon]
I don't understand why you're doing this to us...
We could have it all back in a second if you want.
You're just being so difficult and I can't quite figure out why,
Why you're so intent to up and move on.

[Emily]
It's not that easy,
you just don't get it,
we're different people now.

[Jon]
I swear it is that easy,
I feel despondent,
I wish I could make you understand somehow.

[Emily]
You've changed,
[Jon]
It's like we're going in circles...
[Emily]
I've changed,
[Jon]
I just want the old you back...
[Emily]
We've changed,
[Jon]
What's so wrong with that?
[Emily]
But it's time,
[Jon]
It's like we're going in circles...
[Emily]
It's time,
[Jon]
I just want the old you back
[Emily]
It's time
[Jon]
What's so wrong with that?
[Emily]
for us to move on.

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.
