Play My Cards For Me Lyrics

I, John, who am also your brother and companion
I stood atop the mountain
And saw you down there in the canyon

[Chorus:]
Well, if I fall asleep,
Play my cards for me
It wouldn't bother me
You are a part of me
Others have fallen too
Instead of falling through
I hold these thoughts for you,
My love, my love

I, John, who am also your friend and sympathizer
I bear witness to your speech as you only grew wiser...
And I

[Chorus]

I, John, who am also your rock through years of war
I know deep within that we have both been here before

[Chorus]

I, John, who decided on no longer asking why
I make heaven here and now, under everlasting sky

[Chorus]

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.
