change yo' lyrics

Ever think you've heard the most perfect lyrics ever and then find out that you heard wrong? I'm trying to revise a story using "the vibe" of a song I'm occasionally currently obsessed by - "The Hangover Days" by Jason Collett. There were a few lines I couldn't suss after listening to the song multiple times, so I turned to the Internet to provide lyrics, then realized that not only had I not heard all the lyrics, but I also had misheard others.

I really like mine better.
My version:

[Feist] I told you I'd never make a promise, a promise I can't keep
[Collett] I thanked you for being on edge
[Feist] I said, don't pull that shit on me

The real version:

[Feist] I told you I'd never make a promise, a promise I can't keep
[Collett] I thanked you for being honest
[Feist] I said, don't pull that shit on me

My version:

[Feist] All these newborn places
They erase your memory

The real version:

[Feist] All these new non-places
They erase your memory
Maybe Collett will realize the error of his ways?
