The Slow Song Lyrics

saw your face a year ago
you said you'd give me a blow
if i would just be your new friend
so what do you think
i went up on that bet
and as i regret
i hope your not upset
'cuz its something that could have happened
but never happened
so what happened?
i want to ask you what went so wrong
but its been so long
was it the time when you were all in my head
keeping me awake when i was lying in bed?
was it the time i was playing the fool
acting moronic but trying to be cool?
was it the sweet smile you had on your face
that made my penis raise and my heartbeat race?
i want to tell you how i really felt
but i don't want you to know how long i have dwelt
on you
there was a time when things were looking good
there was a time when nothing could get in my way
there was a time when you were looking good
that was then
this is now
so please just go away

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.
