My Echo Lyrics

Three voices on the phone
Between me, you and my echo
Decide to let me know
That you can’t hear at all
Constant interference of my echo
Can you give me clearance, Clarence?
Some relief, I long to be back home
Given the options I’ve had
To cover a meaningful, wise conversation
I only want too bad
It’s not a pressure you feel under
A silent wonder
Constant interference of my echo
Can you give me clearance, Clarence?
Some relief, I long to be back home
I’m getting tired of holding your hand
Suddenly sick of proposals and questions
I hope you understand that you’ve been no help at all
End of call

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.
