What We Want To Believe In Lyrics

she was my sunlight
she made my skin glow
she had these bow legs
I didn't want her to go

blue skies were turning red
learn my grade the hard way
she loved me or so she said
so I say

we all believe
what we want to believe in
we like to dream
what we want to believe in
this is the real thing
real thing

I stretched her dress tight
I cut her hair low
I made her speak right
I didn't want her to go

gray skies beneath my feet
I slipped on truth the hard way
she preferred herself to me
so I say

we all believe
what we want to believe in
we like to dream
and we want to believe in
so we all believe
what we want to believe in
this is the real thing, so dance
every woman and man
in cloud cuckoo land

we all believe
what we want to believe in
we like to dream
and we want to believe in
we all believe
what we want to believe in
we like to dream
and we want to believe in
so we all believe
what we want to believe in

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.
