The Plan Lyrics

If you’re leaving, take me too
Heaven knows I can’t go anywhere without you
And I would pay for gas
We could laugh about our troubles that we’re leaving in the past

The radio is on the fritz
And I don’t mind cause the radio is shit
There’s no songs about kids like us
Bout the hopes that we have and refuse to give up

Let her lean (?)
Let her lean
Let her lean
Have a little faith in me

I know that times are tough
I promise these hard knocks are nothing, honey
Keep your chin up

So tired of being poor
Can’t stand the thought of you scrubbing toilets
In this town anymore

I got paid just yesterday
Well that’s two hundred dollars
Plus the change in the ashtray

We could drive all night
Find a town where no one knows us
And start a new life

Let her lean (?)
Let her lean
Have a lean
Have a little faith in me

And god knows where we’ll go
We have each other
And that’s all I need to know

You know it’s darkest before dawn
You better pack yourself a sweater because
Honey it’s gonna be cold tonight

I know that times are tough
I promise these hard knocks are nothing, honey
Keep your chin up

So tired of being poor
Can’t stand the thought of you scrubbing toilets 
In this town anymore

I got paid just yesterday
Well that’s two hundred dollars 
Plus the change in the ashtray

We could drive all night
Find a town where no one knows us
And start a new life

Let her lean (?)
Let her lean

And god knows where we’ll go
We have each other 
And that’s all I need to know

You know it’s darkest before dawn
You better pack yourself a sweater because 
Honey it’s gonna be cold 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.
