Water Skin Lyrics

Even I'm gone, I know you will be fine
We'll keep playing that act
Next time don't try
Even I'm gone, I know you will be fine
I'm sure we'll pick a new film
Next time don't smile
You care but you don't know when
You drink but you don't know why
You drive but you don't know where
You want but you don't know how
Feel that water touching your lips
Kissing your skin
Turns the scene complete
Feel that water burning your lips
Thrilling your skin
Turns the scene complete
Even I'm gone, I know you will be fine
We'll keep playing that act
Next time don't try
Even I'm gone, I know you will be fine
I'm sure we'll pick a new film
Next time don't smile
You're scared but you don't know when
You drown but you don't know why
You swim but you don't know
You don't know how
Feel that water touching your lips
Kissing your skin
Turns the scene complete
Feel that water burning your lips
Thrilling your skin
Turns the scene complete

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.
