In The Light Of Things Lyrics

I'd like to think I was a lover
if I could ever bring us back together
I'd like to think I was a father
if I could get together with my children
I'd like to think I was a friend
so let us begin
I'd like to think I was your friend
we can start again
in the light of things
in the light of things
in the light of things
I'd like to think I was a thinker
if I could even get my thoughts together
I'd like to think I was still a child
if I could get together with my father
I'd like to think that I can see right in front of me
I'd like to think that I can breathe in everything
in the light of things
in the light of things
in the light of things
in the light of things
I'd like to think I was a lover
if I could ever bring us back together

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.
