Shallow Waters Lyrics

i'm leaving tomorrow
and i don't know why
there's something that's not right soul
i have no goal

i'm leaving shallow waters
i'm leaving all my dreams of you
i can't go on
i want to run away
i think i'll go today

tomorrow won't help me at all
it won't help me at all
there's something that i told you and you don't know
that it's true

i'm leaving shallow waters
i'm leaving all my dreams of you
i can't go on
i want to run away
i think i'll go today

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.

One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever created. I believe the meaning is simple: A guy that is leaving his girl. He does not really want to because he still loves her, but some thing in his life compels him to do so. Leaving shallow waters means he is leaving the safety of the relationship, and set out for the deep ocean - uncharted territory.
