When I Crash Lyrics

I've been a party to a lot of things that I'm not proud of
But there's a couple that I'd gladly do over again
Don't get the wrong idea - me and you are still in love
But I'm scared
You're gonna take it hard

I did a lot of stuff before I even knew you existed
I was a kid at the time but I'm all better now
Yeah, I had one shot at it before and I missed it
Now I know
I wouldn't miss it again

Are you gonna catch me when I crash
Are you gonna leave me to my drinking
'Cause if I had it to do all over again
She'd be around
She'd be around
She'd be around

I've been a party to a lot of things that you'd call high-brow
I was a concubine for a time in my teens
There was that one that I let get away somehow
And I know
I wouldn't do it again

Are you gonna catch me when I crash
Are you gonna leave me to my drinking
'Cause if I had it to do all over again
She'd be around
She'd be around
She'd be around

Are you gonna catch me when I crash
Are you gonna leave me to my drinking
'Cause if I had it to do all over again
She'd be around
She'd be around
She'd be around

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.
