Farther Down- Can't Hardly Wait Soundtrack Lyrics

Into you so far the words go
So much clearer than you hear
Into you goes everything I know
No one else knows how I feel

Farther down
I'm desperate for you
Where you never have to know
Farther down
I'm still without a clue
Till something
Something takes my pain away

Only chance can change my fortune
So I'm not sure why I try
As if I could swim the ocean
As if you could start to fly

Farther down
I'm desperate for you
Where you never have to know
Farther down
I'm still without a clue
Till something
Something takes my pain away
Something takes my pain away
Something takes my pain away

Farther down
I'm desperate for you
Where you never have to know
Farther down
I'm still without a clue
Till something
Something takes my pain away
Something takes my pain away
Something takes my pain away
Something takes my pain 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.
