Ben Moves To California Lyrics

I woke up the other day walked out to blue suburban skies,
skies filled with dreams and butterflies and i wondered to myself how do I fit in this game?
just a nameless face or faceless name
then i remembered an old friend of mine how we'd watch tv all night
tell each other about our dreams, but i don't see him no more, no.
light a cigarette and watch this day go by, burned another six minutes to the sky
i need a fucking answer but i guess that's why we live this life
a constant search for something right
now my mind is wondering how am i going to get fucked up today, light a bowl and see it all fade away
it happens everyday

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.
