What the Sea Left Behind (Part One) Lyrics

i know math i can factor five and ten i can swear with a sweet tooth grin i can look away pointy arrows of your eyes i wonï¿½t flinch no i wonï¿½t be surprised at how this feeling sparks and courts an archipelago of sorts full of ships and confused ports, you left before the weekend iï¿½ll be on the shore maybe a peninsula maybe something more i can look away to the distant early sky i wonï¿½t say a word you wonï¿½t hear a sigh i can swallow sea water just like it was milk i wonï¿½t grit my teeth iï¿½ll be smooth as silk and if you lug that all around then iï¿½ll be forced to stand my ground and iï¿½ll be collared stuffed and crowned the emperor of weekends it must be a drag to be a sea-less hag and youï¿½re wasted sour grapes and

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.
