Love Affair with Life Lyrics

You play a love affair with life
You stay and dance with every night
The moments from dawn to dusk you chase
But I'm lost now, where do I stand
In the race?

You play to empty eyes in crowded bars
I can't believe we got this far yet got nowhere
What is there left for me in this?
Every time you play is your first kiss

I'm not a passtime
I''m not your passtime
Don't play around with me
You can't play me
I'm not a melody
Don't play around with me

Don't play around with me
Because I'm not a passtime
I'm not your passtime
Don't play around with me
You can't play me
I'm not a melody
I'm not a melody
I'm not a melody

You can't play me
I'm not a melody

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.
