Outside World Lyrics

Lately, I don't feel quite as I should
Lately, I don't feel quite as I could
I've been tired, lonely, sick of all this talk
It's been heading downward since we left New York

Lately, I've been feeling really down
Sorry, but my mind's in London town
Is it me or are these hotels really bad
I want some decent TV not this endless act

Don't worry you're a long long way from home
People speak to me but I feel so alone
Whoa whoa whoa Whoa whoa whoa

Don't worry you're a long long way from home
People speak to me but I feel so alone
Can't you understand my body's changing fast
It's not up to me how long I'm going to last
Whoa whoa whoa Whoa whoa whoa

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.

"Can't you understand my body's changing fast / It's not up to me how long I'm going to last"--was she (Emma, I think) pregnant at the time?
