It's Kind of Lonesome Out Tonight Lyrics

Wish I had a place to walk to
Wish there was a star in sight
Wish I had a friend to talk to
It's kind of lonesome out tonight

Wish it wasn't getting colder
Wish the moon would give some light
Wish my head could find a shoulder
It's kind of lonesome out tonight

I look at the passing lovers
That slowly wander by
My heart shakes his head and whispers
"How many times can I die?"

Wish I knew some lips to borrow
Wish someone would hold me tight
How I wish it was tomorrow
It's kind of lonesome out tonight

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.
