Until I Get By Lyrics

So easily satisfied
Tonight
I'm vacant in the half-light
With a notion not to drink
Until I get by
It's easy not to think
Until I get by

Oh I knew this day would come
We fight
Livid in the sun
With no patience just to wait
Until I get by
It's easier to fake
Until I get by
Until I get by

Oh they're old familiar ways
That sit stinking in the sun
I guess I just got carried away
I'm not the only one
If your mild imagination
Leaves you better off
Well I'll hope to first recover
Recover what I've given up

So easily satisfied
Delight
Keeping us alive
I'd be vacant not to think
Until I get by
It's easier to drink
Until I get by
Until I get by
Until I get by

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.
