Playing With Lights Lyrics

I'm not saying anything this time to stop you
Instead I'll just sit back from here and watch you
I always thought you'd take your troubles somewhere else
But each discussion just seems more and more ridiculous

My eyes are open
I'll be up all night
If you plan to leave don't bother with the light

Quarter 'till my mind is racing
Half past, still my bodys facing
the door - you left it open in retaliation
I was here for you with no reciprocation

My eyes are open
I'll be up all night
If you plan to leave don't bother with the light

Just don't leave tonight
so I can sleep

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 like this song because it is a little different then other songs they do. this one is more up beat rather than slow and soothing like rasberry water, or steps in sand. all of there songs are beautiful rather they are fast or slow. i love them all!! <3
