not to catch you by surprise Lyrics

Not to catch you by surprise
Everything is fine but I want you here
In slow time
If you're not gonna cry then I'll do it for you
Here I go
Take a lap around the yard 'cause I need it
Did you notice what is broken back there
Did you notice
Hardly

There isn't a problem with you or a problem with me
A problem with anything
Two years is a pretty good feat considering everything
I don't need to tell you I wasn't there at all
Not more than I was by default
Not more than a cinder brick wall is there to catch you when you fall
There to catch you when you

I'll settle down
You're still around
We were friends back then and we will be now
No excuses
There's a line to cross and we haven't touched it
I don't love it but we're happy and we're better off
Right?
Right

There isn't a problem with you or a problem with me
A problem with anything
Two years is a pretty good feat considering everything
I don't need to tell you I wasn't there at all
Not more than I was by default
Not more than a cinder brick wall is there to catch you when you fall
There to catch you when you

Fall
There to catch you when you
Fall
Not to catch you by surprise
But we're in it
Not to catch you by surprise
But we're in it
Not to catch you by surprise
But we're in it

This isn't the end of a horrible, tattered love
It just needs some patching up
A couple of wounded ducks separated from the pond

There isn't a problem with you or a problem with me
A problem with anything
Two years is a pretty good feat considering everything
I don't need to tell you I wasn't there at all
Not more than I was by default
Not more than a cinder brick wall is there to catch you when you fall
There to catch you when you

Not to catch you by surprise

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.
