Nobody Wants to Be Here & Nobody Wants to Leave Lyrics

Can we go back
Can we go back
Can we go back

I won't keep you here
I won't keep you long
I won't keep you here

Can you stay tomorrow
You won't leave tomorrow
I don't know where it all went wrong

I won't keep you here
I won't keep you long
I won't keep you here

You always say you won't
You always say you won't
You always say you won't

Can you stay tomorrow
You won't leave tomorrow
I don't know where it all went wrong

So lay with me alone
Stay with me you won't
So lay with me alone
Stay with me you won't

Can we go back
Can we go back
Can we go back

Can you stay tomorrow
You won't leave tomorrow
I don't know where it all went wrong

I don't know where it all went wrong
I don't know where it all went wrong
I don't know where it all went wrong
I don't know where it all went wrong

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.

James: "This song came together really quickly. Andy sent me over the music and I wrote and recorded my melodies and lyrics that night. The vocal structure of the song is exactly how I recorded it that night. The vocal on the demo and the finished track on the album is the actual vocal I recorded in my bedroom that night. Andy Bush who engineered the record said to me: "I don't think you have to record that vocal again, I think you did the perfect version of it on the demo"."
