Dear America, I'm Lost Lyrics

I've got scars from a life well lived. I've got this beating heart that never quits; it always says, "You could be doing more for yourself. You could be doing more for everyone else."

Well Dear America, Jake's lost, and I think I might be too. I tried to find myself in sweaty basements, broken guitar strings, and instrument cables, but I just got more lost when I tried to rebuild the ways we used to laugh, how we used to talk, all the little things before it all dropped off and we got so tired of feeling bad, feeling worse, feeling broken, and feeling cursed. Through crooked smiles and broken teeth, I hope I never have to repeat the past two years of my life.

Let's trade back the fashion for the passion, and let's reignite the sparks that fueled the flames of something bigger.

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.
