This Is the One Thing We Did Not Want to Have Happen Lyrics

This is a bringing a thing that we load
The doctor (?) loading above
Look to the war that sudden in the space
And older band that works (?) influence
All that I've seen and all that I've known
And all of the pretenses I've had and I've blown
And all of the good times and sometimes the bad
Are all of the reasons that are making you mad

We were strangers before we met, we were strangers before we met

All that I've seen and all that I've known
And all of the pretenses I've had and I've blown
And all of the good times and sometimes the bad
Are all of the reasons that are making you mad

We were strangers before we met, we were strangers before we met

(We were strangers before we met)
We were strangers before we met, we were strangers before we met
We were strangers before we met, we were strangers before we met
We were strangers before we met, we were strangers before we met
We were strangers before we met, we were strangers before we met
We were strangers before we met, we were strangers before we met

The Devil May Care (Mom and Dad Don't)

This is a bringing a thing that we load
The doctor (?) loading above
Look to the war that sudden in the space
And older band that works (?) influence
All that I've seen and all that I've known 
And all of the pretenses I've had and I've blown 
And all of the good times and sometimes the bad
Are all of the reasons that are making you mad

We were strangers before we met, we were strangers before we met

All that I've seen and all that I've known 
And all of the pretenses I've had and I've blown 
And all of the good times and sometimes the bad
Are all of the reasons that are making you mad

We were strangers before we met, we were strangers before we met

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.
