Sum of Our Lives Lyrics

soft spoken spring
whispers graciously
thank you for a new beginning
a second chance at what we started
a break from the broken-hearted
for more than the sum of our lives
cower at the face of her regret
i wanna be the one to make it
we're more than the sum of our lives, of our lives
i could let it be
i could set us free
but it's never that easy
our names carved in the pavement
all the marks we had leaven
we're more than the sum of our lives
all that we anticipated,
what we already created
it's more than the sum of our lives, of our lives
constants of night and the tireless sea
constantly think we'll leave
the second chance on what we started
a break from the broken-hearted
we're more than the sum of our lives
cower at the face of your regret
i wanna be the one to make it
we're more than the sum of our lives, of our lives

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.
