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.
I thought it was dreaming until I read the lyrics via you tube and it says "tripping the last mile home". THEN I read it's "driving"!!!!
I'm going with "dreaming" PERIOD!!
HEY, someone needs to get this straight being all those different words bring many different meanings. Such a soulful song to be in question is a sin!!
Obviously, it's dreaming. The other words don't even make sense in its place. Anyway, I've never been a fan of this band and doubt I will be in the future, but I like this song. It made me weep the first time I heard it. I actually thought it was some late 70's band and that I'd heard it long ago, but was quite surprised to find out I was wrong. I think the lyrics are very easy to interpret. The only thing left up to interpretation is whether or not his family/lover is at the home he's going to or if he's just dreaming about them on his last mile home alone.

Pretty sure he sings "dreamin' on the last mile home" throughout (not driven).
