You Can’t Go Home Again Lyrics

forgotten good times line my floor
I've still got the poster up on my door
the first show we ever played
our first tour
time passes & heals old wounds
I still remember when you crooned:
"I could see it coming from miles away"
I don't mean to salt you were you bleed
I just never wanted it to end this way
woah you can't go home again
I understand your fears now
it took some time
but I came around
we've all lost loves
that in time we found
maybe thirty hour drives
made it hard for you to survive
at the very least
it changed our lives

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.

@zouyan Exactly (geez, your comment was a long time ago). When the Impossibles got back together in 2000, they wrote "Enter/Return" which I believe is about the Impossibles breaking up and getting back together again as well.
