Strayed Lyrics

It's strange the way
You walk behind
But seem to lead the way

I know I have strayed

I have taken you for a ride
Left you waiting in the car
While I played death games inside

I know I have strayed

I have loved in haste
I've been an alleycat and a bumblebee
To your panther and your wasp
Oh I have loved
While thinking only of the cost

I know I have strayed

I've raised a sick child to your lips
And in asking you to kiss
What I would not kiss

I know I have strayed

Well I never thought I'd be
One of those men
With pin-ups on their wall
For all to see
I thought that was just mechanics

I know I have strayed

I have taken you for a ride
Left you waiting in the car
While I played death games inside

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.
