If Memory Serves Lyrics

i couldn’t think of someone
that i’d rather see
i couldn’t think of any place
that i’d rather be
i thought I knew you once before
and you cast your spell on me
someone cut my past
baby let it bleed

i tried to write you letters
but it wasn’t me
i tried to find your pictures
out of curiosity
i thought i had it all figured out
but confusion reigned supreme
someone cut my past
baby let it bleed
if memory serves me
memorys all i need

the spirit moved me once before
can i find a way
open up your door
all these things you cant ignore
the spirit moves me once again
can i find a way
stop and count to ten
all these things i cant pretend

i’m the rain in spring time
you’re the autumn leaves
we push our hearts to the top of the mountain
and roll them down our sleeves
i thought I had you back in my arms
but it turned out to be a dream
someone cut my past
baby let it bleed
if memory serves me
memorys all I need
if memory serves me
memorys all I need
if memory serves me
memorys all I need

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.
