The Thing I'll Be Lyrics

I would run away with you if I could,
I would save up all my bread,
So we could live like a king.

I would take a shot a for you in the dark,
I would be the Robin Hood for a start,
To live like they do.

I would take a drink if it'll make me fine.
I would make a trip for water and wine.

I would get my shit in line if I could,
I would leave this school behind,
To live like a king.

I would not hurt your feelings even if I tried,
If that don't make it better well I tried,
Let's live like they do.

I would take a drink if it'll make me fine.
I would make a trip for water and wine.

With a boot against my head,
I know nothing better than this...

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.
