A Boat to an Island, Pt. 2/Agatha's Song Lyrics

When I say through me, I would like to be
Someone kind over cavalier
What have I done with my years

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.

Lyrics are wrong.

[Album Version] And I said to me, I would like to be Someone kind over cavalier What have I done with my years

[Live Version] Well I walked out Sunday morning To watch the weather blow through the trees It’s so nice to be around you now Fill the days with aching breeze

And I said to me, I would like to be Someone kind over cavalier What have I done with my years

Put a rose upon my table, dear Put a leaf inside my door It’s so nice to be around you now Fill the days with asking more

And I said to me, I would like to be Someone kind over cavalier What have I done with my years
