Here I Am Lyrics

Here I am and I don't have much to say
It seems so strange to stare at you and to feel this way
Feel this way
Here I am and I don't really know this time
The phone can ring off the hook I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind (love is lonely)
I don't mind (love is cruel)
I don't mind (love is only)
For a fool, for a fool

So here I am and I'm not really sure right now
Shut the shade, the light's too bright
And I don't feel so well
Feel so well
Feel so well (love is lonely)
Feel so well (love is cruel)
Feel so well (love is only)
For a fool, for a fool

Here I am and I don't really care this time
The record skips, stammers the beat
And repeats the line
Repeats the line
Repeats the line (love is lonely)
Repeats the line (love is cruel)
Repeats the line (love is only)
For a fool, for a fool

So here I am (here I am)
Here I am (here I am)
Here I am (here I am)
Here I am again

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.

I love this song. JJG is such a great band...they're great live too, if any of you ever get a chance to see them.

Never seen them live, but both of their cd's are good.

Anyway....i think this song is about a break up and/or seeing someone you love in a different light.

Yeah I feel like this song could really go either way-- it could be about seeing someone you used to love and no longer having those feelings for them, or about seeing someone you used to only view as a friend and now feeling more for them. Or something entirely different, but those are the two ways I've interpreted it over the years.
