Snow Goose and Me Lyrics

I sneak in
I sneak in and nobody sees me
'Round the back where nobody knows me

Just snow goose and me
Looking to break free
And our brand of magic means

Always slipping out on stolen dreams
Always slipping out on stolen dreams
Always
Just snow goose and I
Looking to go high

I see you around a lot
I try to catch your eye
But no one's home, eyes glassy as mine
Your lights are out
But I swear I'll pull you back from the edge this time

Just snow goose and me
Looking to break free
And our brand of selfish means

Always slipping out on stolen dreams
Always slipping out on stolen dreams
Always
Just snow goose and I
Looking to go high

Sweet Jesus all I want
Is something impossible
Sweet Jesus all I want
Is something to lift me up
All I want
Is to catch your hand in mine
To catch your hand in mine

Always slipping out on stolen dreams
Always slipping out on stolen dreams
Always slipping out on stolen dreams
Always slipping out on stolen dreams
Always
Just snow goose and me
Looking to break free

I sneak in  
I sneak in and nobody sees me  
'Round the back where nobody knows me

Just snow goose and me  
Looking to break free  
And our brand of magic means

Always slipping out on stolen dreams  
Always slipping out on stolen dreams  
Always 
Just snow goose and I  
Looking to go high

I see you around a lot  
I try to catch your eye  
But no one's home, eyes glassy as mine  
Your lights are out  
But I swear I'll pull you back from the edge this time

Just snow goose and me  
Looking to break free  
And our brand of selfish means

Always slipping out on stolen dreams  
Always slipping out on stolen dreams  
Always 
Just snow goose and I  
Looking to go high

Sweet Jesus all I want  
Is something impossible  
Sweet Jesus all I want  
Is something to lift me up  
All I want  
Is to catch your hand in mine  
To catch your hand in mine

Always slipping out on stolen dreams  
Always slipping out on stolen dreams  
Always slipping out on stolen dreams  
Always slipping out on stolen dreams  
Always 
Just snow goose and me  
Looking to break free

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.

From Tanya's Bandcamp: "Fred [Abong]'s chord structures, time changes and vibe always bring the darkly hopeful stories out of me. This one feels like a fable, but with no sticky moral to bind it. About getting by, getting away with it, making some small contact, hoping for more. (btw, Snow Goose is a human, not a bird, unless you want it to be. I leave it to you.) Also, just to note: I'm saying "selfish", not "shellfish". (Actually -- I am saying "shellfish", but I mean "selfish".)"
