About You Lyrics

I can see
That you and me
Live our lives in the pouring rain
And the raindrops beat out of time to our refrain
And you and me
Will win you'll see
People die in their living rooms
But they do not need this God almighty gloom
There's something warm about the rain
There's something warm
There's something warm
There's something warm in everything
I know there's something good
About you about you
I know there's something warm
There's something warm
Good about you

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 THAT

i think it's about seeing the inside of the one you love. even if life seems harsh and the relationship is strained, even if the person usually seems down, there's always something good in your partner that started it off and is waiting to be rediscovered.

i dunno if there are too many more beautiful love songs than this one, probably not too many.

This song is actually (uncharacteristically) upbeat for the J&MC. Normally, there is a much darker tone to their songs, especially the ones about love.

I think this is about finding strength and wisdom in experiences. "Good" to me is the same as being "Genuine" and "Open". It is trying to stay true to yourself- your thoughts and beliefs- when thrown into a den of confusion and chaos. I think "real" and "good" is finding meaning in relationships. Real is going out on a limb BY YOURSELF to profess to the universe just why it was that you loved another human being. Real is good and beautiful and honest.

This song is gorgeous and uplifting.
