Carter (Uncut) Lyrics

I see the way we coincide
And it's nothing more than chance
If I were one for feeling fate
I'd be none for you to trust

So never tell me that I think of you
Holding on
To any solid body sinking me
Faith all gone

Leaving is an open sea
And the weight in both my legs
So silent is a stranger's home
Where the air will cut me dead

I'll never roll away
The weight of you
Seems too much
I'll never hate the way I wanted to
Not enough

And so I come
Barren like
Some northern shoreline
And all I'm aiming for
The locking in and waiting on
Just anything
The dust unsettling

Soberly stating the truth
I feel new
Relieving the weight and it holds me
All too hard
Replacing the feeling so soon
Shake off the mood
Just like I'm told
Believe in all I do

And so I come
Barren like
Some northern shoreline
And all I'm aiming for
The locking in and waiting on
Just anything
The dust unsettling
The dust unsettling

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.
