Water And Sleep Lyrics

Water come up from the ocean
Water come right up the street
Water come up to the edge of my bed
Water come up while I sleep
I'll wait for sleep, leave salt on my sheets
Salt on my sheets
By stars navigate
Dreams anticipate
By night it's too late to try and not think about it
I'm visible
I'm invisible
The moon it is full
It pulls back and forth
I'll wait for sleep to take me again
Take me again
The ocean side roller coaster rides
Please tell me why they're all closed for the season
The rivers rise
The wells run dry
Water it tries to swell and make it's mark
I'll wait for sleep, leave salt on my sheets
Salt on my sheets

Pray for the water
Pray for the sleep
Dried out from water
Tired out from sleep
Get inside of water
Get inside of sleep
Get inside the things we do
Get inside of me

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.
