I Don't Know How We Got Here Lyrics

A boy was killed in the arcade
The ice cream spilled down on the blade
A thousand lights starting to fade
Down where he played
A girl got lost in the old mall
Her coat was found out by the wall
A thousand ghosts starting to crawl
Easing her fall (Ah)

Hey
I don't know how we got so far down here
I don't know how the silence broke our ears
I don't know how we got so far down here
Choking slowly
I don't know how we got here

A birthday card flew into space
The red balloons cold and disgraced
A thousand words leaving this place
No one's embraced

Hey
I don't know how we got so far down here
I don't know how the silence broke our ears
I don't know how we got so far down here
Choking slowly
I don't know how we got here
I don't know how we got so far down here
Choking slowly
Far down here
Altered and lonely
I don't know how we got here

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.
