Hanging Over Lyrics

I'm alive and I can breath the air
I can hurt you
I can float up here
so soft and tingling
You can't catch me
I'm floating away

I woke up
And went down next door
I'm getting up with nothing on my mind
I went down the stairs
With a pain in my head
I should have never got out of bed

Then everything shattered
Just at the point that mattered (X 2)
Aha

I'm alive I can breath the air
I can hurt you
I can fall down there
Right into you your mind
Don't put it around
You can't catch me
& carried away

I woke up I, woke up every day
There's nothing, nothing to say
Half way down the stairs
I feel a pain in my chest
I should never have got out of bed

Then everything shattered
Just at the point that it mattered (X 2)
Aha

I'm alive, I'm can breath the air
I can hurt you
Half way down the stairs
I get a pain in my chest
I should never got out of bed

I should never ever ever
I should never...

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.

this is my favorite Blur song

I think it's about being drunk, but I could be taking it too literally. . .
