Curfew... Lyrics

Talk as if I'm ready to die
But I'm really not ready to die
I don't mind
You can tell me 'bout your day
If you wanna sit together
In silence for a number of hours
That is OK
That is fine by me
I was surprised you see
When you asked if I wanted to chill
Because you used to say
You're really not a fan of awkward tension
And I can be quiet and self loathing
And have a constant need for attention
Not to mention
Confusing humor
I might be rude about your music taste
So, I'm sorry in advance
But the industry moves quickly
And I feel the need to keep up with names and faces
So I find new sounds on a daily basis
It's not difficult to listen on a daily basis, but
Still question my existence on a daily basis
Tie my shoes up on a daily basis
Write my thoughts down on a daily basis
Worry about life
And wonder how many days I have left on this daily basis
Sixteen years in so see all you're able to see
Sixteen years in because you'll never be free
And I should really get to sleep

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.
