Sail Away Lyrics

Got nothing to do
Ain't got no job
Ain't got no one to lose, yeah
And I got a fine boat
Sometimes this life
I might sail away

It's kind of weird
How shit goes down
It's kind of funky, yeah
Moving around
Sometimes this life
I might sail away
Might sail away X 5

People who test me do wonder why
All the birds up in that great ol' big blue sky
And then they just gotta go and say
You know they got to
They got to X 3
They got to sail away
Might sail away X 5

Got something to do
I got a job
Still got no one to lose, yeah
Still got a fine boat
Sometimes this life
I might sail away
Might sail away X 5

Sometimes this life
I might sail away
Might sail away X 3

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.

This is one of the 2 studio-recorded songs that didn't make the cut for O.A.R.'s 2nd studio release, Soul's Aflame. It's a pretty neat sing, but there's not really much to it as far as lyrics go. If anyone plans on burning Souls Aflame onto CD, I would suggest putting it as the last track. Also, the other (and much better in my opinion) unreleased song that didn't make it on Souls Aflame is Earthward. This song should be placed as track 7 I believe.
