Where Does the Time Go? Lyrics

Edit Lyrics We will walk on a hillRed hats and blue coats, and everything still.Snow will cover untilWe can't tell the sky from the ground.Where are the buildings, the old wounds of mine?Did I ever once cry?Waiting for you to arrive,Where does the time go?Where does the time go?Where does the time go?Where does the time go?Friends have moved away,One tree has come down, another one flowers and sways.Miri was lost for five days.From upstate at school one friend writes,Everything is changing while the day sky stays blue.Changing around him, and me without you.Waiting for you to arrive,Where does the time go?Where does the time go?Where does the time go?Where does the time go?Balconies and flightsOf wooden stairs down to the water at low tide.I'll carry you and we will walk in the light.Waiting for you to arrive.Where does the time go?Where does the time go?Where does the time go?Where does the time go?

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.

Wistful, brilliant, sad and heartbreaking but with an uplifting message at the same time, this is just a wee slice of heartbreaking brilliance that you come across in fleeting moments of your life. It'll make you sadder and break yer heart over if yer sad and have a broken heart; it may heal the broken heart you have but will tell you a deeper truth if ye can handle it, and it will hurt. But this song will always redeem you, it'll speak to you alone, and it will reflect some aspect of your life for sure.
