Amphibious Lyrics

I got lonely and 32 times whose been in jail.
I love stealing, I love feeling watched by you.
And I will never go down downtown.
And I will always have my head held down.
Can see it in your eyes, everything’s on fire.
I think I did it.
What you looking at?
They'll kicked the gas.
It’s not a game.
Dirty dirty dirty dirty me you’ll see.
Can’t be always looking behind my back, it’s a trap.
And I will never go down downtown.
And I will always have my head held down.
Can see it in your eyes, everything’s on fire.
I think I did it
What you looking at?
He'll kick the gas.
It’s not a game.
And I will never go down downtown.
And I will always have my head held down.

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.

it seems the title "amphibious" refers to the resiliancy of the speaker.

i think the guy was pretending to be someone he wasnt in order to impress a girl but then she still didnt notice him. he had already begun living for her though and couldnt stop. and she notices him now in a bad way and wants nothing to do with him
